Insurance providers are generally permitted to charge a minimal fee for filing the SR22 to the state. State laws vary though the SR-22 form filing fee is usually from $15 – $25.

In the past, the state of Missouri, do not allow the use of any kind of policy fee, service charge, examination fees, and fees for regulating filings such as SR-22 fees. This law was changed though in 2003 and then Missouri Code of Regulations (CSR) only mandates that fees and payments charged for SR-22s will be fair.

According to the Missouri law any insurance provider supplying coverage to an insured within certified policy may file, for him/herself and the individual covered, any such form as the case demands. (B) Any special premium charge evaluated by an insurance provider for supplying coverage to an insured within certified policy will be reasonable in amount, and might include charges including:

The cost to the insurance provider of SR-22 filing or other appropriate form. This charge will be evaluated only one time throughout the time period of the certified insurance plan, such as renewals, provided but, that if the policy is terminated because of the nonpayment of premium, yet another charge could be evaluated upon any reinstatement of the insurance plan by the insurance provider.
