If I have been insured with my insurance company in Columbia Ohio for 10 years, and have had consistent insurance. Does my insurer have to provide an SR22, which is needed to get an restricted driver’s license?

Your insurance company in Columbia OH does not have to provide you with a SR-22 if they do not offer SR22. Not all insurance companies file this certificate of financial responsibility or SR22 with the state which it appears you are required to do in order to get a restricted driver’s license.

If your insurance company in Ohio does not file SR-22, since some standard insurance companies do not and leave this to insurance companies that insurance to those they consider to be high risk motorists, then you will need to obtain insurance from an insurer that does file SR22s. Normally, this would mean that you would need to find insurance from an insurer that does file SR-22s which unfortunately means you then would need to terminate your coverage with your original insurance company since having 2 policies on the same car(s) is not usually allowable by law.
