No,actually. You will need to find an authorized auto insurance company to file an SR22 insurance form for you there in Arizona. Your state DMV or Department of Motor Vehicles Office would not accept any form submitted to them if it did not came from any of the SR22 insurance companies in your state. You can usually get a listing or directory of authorized SR22 insurance companies by contacting your state DMV office or through their website.
You can also go to the Internet and search for a suitable SR22 insurance carrier online. The Internet is both an effective tool and valuable resource to help you do just that. In fact, this website has a free SR22 insurance search tool that you can use to find SR22 insurance companies in your area, compare rates or quote offers, and some of the providers advertising rates on the Web even publish online versions of their policies for your perusal.
A few important things to remember about SR22: This is a certificate or form that is submitted by your insurance carrier to your states DMV before the process of reinstating your driving privileges can begin. There may be a one time fee involved so you need to ask your carrier about this as well. You would also be required to maintain the SR22 insurance policy for abut two years. Allowing the policy to lapse, get canceled or any coverage gaps may result in another suspension of your drivers license and more sever penalties in the future.

I Got a Speeding Ticket Will It Affect My Arizona Insurance?
Reader’s Question:
I received a speeding ticket in LA, will this be added points in my Arizona license?

Thank you for asking Henry.
Louisiana and Arizona are both members of the Drivers License Compact. This requires all member state to report back to the state in which a motorist is licensed any conviction of traffic tickets. So the Arizona Department of Transportation should be informed by the LA DMV about this speeding ticket you received in LA.
The Transportation section of Arizona statues gives details on the DLC and Arizona’s participation. It does not say if points for out of state offenses will be assigned points or if the offense will be recorded onto your driving record.
According to the Arizona DOT Motor Vehicle Division they indeed would be informed of this out of state ticket and it would then go on your Arizona driving record and that points would be assessed. You may contact the AZ DOT to get more information on this.
Goodluck!
