SR22 insurance certificate

Q: I’m moving and I recently updated my SR22 insurance certificate address with my car insurance company. After that, it was time to renew my policy, and I notice my rates are somewhat higher. Is this related?

A: It could be. Along with many other factors, the car insurance company you have your SR22 insurance certificate with uses where you live to determine your car insurance rates. Several factors regarding your area of residence can affect how much you will pay on your insurance premium.

If you’re only now moving to Nebraska from another state, you’ll likely see a big difference. Different states have different requirements for minimum car insurance coverage, and they also have different levels of claims, so one state will almost always have higher or lower car insurance premiums than the other, especially for a SR22 insurance certificate.

Also, if you’re coming from a less populated area to a higher populated one, then you’re also likely to see some change. More crime and traffic in big cities make accidents and car theft more likely, which sends all of your rates up.
