An FR-44 is a certificate of financial responsibility required by some states for drivers who have been convicted of certain offenses, such as driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI). The FR-44 form is typically required for a period of time, usually three years, after the conviction. If you move out of state while still required to carry an FR-44 certificate, you will generally need to maintain it until the required period ends, even if the new state you move to does not require an FR-44. In other words, simply moving to a new state does not automatically relieve you of your obligation to carry an FR-44 in the state where it is required. It's important to note that each state has its own laws and requirements for FR-44 certificates, and the specific details of your situation may impact your requirements. For example, if you move to a state that does not require an FR-44 but still have an active driver's license in the state where the FR-44 is required, you may still need to carry the certificate. Therefore, if you need an FR-44 and are planning to move out of state, it's important to consult with your insurance provider and the relevant state authorities to ensure that you understand your obligations and requirements. You should also make sure to comply with all requirements for maintaining your FR-44 certificate until the required period ends to avoid any potential legal or financial consequences.
