Thank you for asking Willie.

The Tennessee Department of Safety states that a financial responsibility or sr22 may be required for a period of five (5) years from your date of suspension. If the SR-22 is filed for within the five (5) year period only, the SR-22 may be terminated so long as it is not required anymore on any other suspension. The SR-22 would not be required if 5 years pass from the date of suspension before you reinstate your privileges. If the SR-22 is cancelled before the required period that you should carry it and a new form is not filed, this will result to suspension of your driving privileges.

A SR-22 form is proof of future financial responsibility If you are required to file a SR-22, then you may contact your insurance provider and inform them of the needed filing with your state. The form must be filed by an insurance provider licensed through the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance to issue auto liability insurance coverage in the state of Tennessee. The minimum limits of liability required in Tennessee is 25/50/10. The forms must be issued from a liability insurance company.

Goodluck!
