If my DUI case was not filed against me by court, why would I need an SR 22 form?

I have an out-of-state drivers license when I got a DUI 3 years ago. I followed up a year after and the court never filed it. Now that I need to renew my license but DMV won’t clear my record unless I submit a DL300 and SR22 form. However wouldn’t that increase my insurance or cause them to drop me from their coverage? I have no tickets, arrests, or any convictions since.

An SR-22 form required in most states in this country is designed to ensure that each driver of a motor vehicle is financially responsible by proving auto insurance in place. The SR-22 form is required for you to get your driver's license so you can prove that you have insurance in place for your vehicle. The requirement for this form has nothing to do with any DUI matter that you were involved in.
