Thank you for asking Hannah.
A SR-22 form is proof of future financial responsibility that is mandated and required under Tennessee Code Annotated 55-12-114. According to the DMV if you are required to file a SR-22 then you should contact your liability insurance company and advise them of the needed filing with the state.
According to the TN DPS an SR-22 can be required for a total of 5 years from your date of suspension or conviction. If the SR-22 is filed for a total of 3 years (36 months) within the 5-year period, the SR-22 may be terminated or removed provided it is not mandated on any other suspension. If 5 years pass from the date of suspension or revocation before you reinstate your driver’s license, then the SR-22 would not be required. If the SR-22 is cancelled, terminated or lapsed before the required period and a new form not filed, your driving privileges will be suspended.
To get more information regarding the specific of your SR22 filing you may contact the Tennessee DPS and get information on how long you will need to carry the SR-22 form with your insurance policy.
Goodluck!
