How Long Do I Need to Carry SR22 Insurance in Tennessee

Thank you for asking Gina.
The Tennessee Department of Safety states that a SR-22 can be required for a total of five (5) years from your date of suspension. If the Financial Responsibility certificate or SR-22 is filed for a total of three (3) years (36 months) within the five (5) year period, the SR-22 may be cancelled or terminated given that it is not required anymore on any other suspension. If the SR-22 is cancelled or terminated before the required period of time and a new form is not filed, your drivers license will be suspended or revoked.
An SR-22 form is proof of future financial responsibility that is required or mandated under Tennessee Code Annotated 55-12-114. If you are required to file a SR-22, then you should contact a liability insurance company and inform them of the needed filing with the state. This form must be filed by an insurance carrier licensed to do business in Tennessee to issue motor vehicle liability insurance coverage in. The minimum liability limits required in Tennessee is 25/50/10.
Goodluck!
