It has been more than 3 yrs since my DUI in the state of TN and I have not renewed my license. Will I be required to obtain a SR-22 before I am allowed to have my license renewed and reinstated?

As you know a single DUI conviction in Tennessee can cost an individual quite a bit after all the fines and fees have been paid.  The potential costs of a TN DUI conviction can include:

  • Fines
  • Court Costs
  • Bail
  • Towing and storage fees
  • Attorney fees
  • Alcohol education program enrollment
  • Driver license reinstatement fees
  • Ignition interlock program costs
  • Higher insurance premiums and SR-22 filing

To get your license reinstated after a DUI conviction, one of the requirements is to provide proof of a SR-22 filing by your insurance company.  Waiting 3 years to reinstate your license does appear to negate the need for the SR-22 form to be filed but you can check with the TN Department of Safety to make certain about your specific situation.
