Keeping physical copies sounds like a smart move, honestly. Did you end up having to reschedule your appointment after your phone died, or did they let you sort it out right there? I always worry about stuff like that happening at the worst possible moment... especially at the DMV.
I'm still figuring out this whole SR-22 thing myself, and I'm trying to cover all my bases. Digital backups seem convenient, but what if your battery dies or you lose signal? Or worse, what if your phone gets stolen or damaged? Maybe I'm just overly cautious, but I feel like relying solely on digital copies could be risky. Has anyone had trouble with places not accepting digital documents, even when they're supposed to?
Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience—it helps hearing how others handle these situations. Makes me feel a bit less paranoid about printing everything out and keeping it in a folder. Guess it's better safe than sorry, right?
Physical copies are the way to go for sure. Learned that the hard way when I tried showing digital proof of insurance at a traffic stop a while back—of course my phone chose THAT moment to freeze up 🙄. Officer was patient enough, but it was awkward as heck fumbling around. Now I keep printed copies in the glove box, wallet, everywhere... probably overkill, but better than another roadside embarrassment, lol.
Had a similar experience once—battery died right when I needed to show my digital ID. Since then, I've stuck with printed copies too. Curious though, anyone know if Kansas accepts digital SR-22 forms, or is paper still mandatory?

Haha, been there... honestly, digital stuff always seems great until it isn't. Pretty sure Kansas still wants paper SR-22 forms, but knowing how slow things move here, I'd double-check before ditching the printouts completely.

Yeah, digital convenience is great until it leaves you stranded. Learned that the hard way when my phone overheated and shut down mid-trip—no GPS, no insurance card, nothing. Since then, I always keep a physical copy tucked away in the glovebox. Curious though, has anyone actually had success showing digital SR-22 forms to Kansas authorities, or is paper still king around here?
