Thank you for asking Harold.

The South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles states that a form SR-22 insurance certificate is required for 3 years from the ending date of the suspension for which it is required. This sr22 certificate is also required during the six months when a person is issued a provisional driver’s license.

The SR-22 certificate must be on file at the SC DMV before the license can be restored or a provisional license issued. According to the SC DMV an SR-22 insurance is not required if the 3 year requirement period for the original suspension has ended.

I would suggest that you contact the SC DMV to know how much longer you will need to carry the SR-22 in your case.
