I was charged with reckless driving in WA, and was ordered to get an SR22. Now, it has been almost 4 years and I still have the sr-22. I thought that I was only required to carry it for a period of 3 years. Do I need to file something to get rid of the sr22?

It appears that you were required to carry proof of Financial Responsibility (SR-22) Insurance Certificate to reinstate your license after a suspension due to a reckless driving conviction. From the information we found it appears that you are correct in that a person in this situation normally needs to have SR-22 insurance for 3 years.

To find out if your period for carrying the SR-22 for your reckless driving offense is over you should contact the Washington Department of Licensing (DOL) or other state agency that required you to obtain the SR-22. If your time period for holding the SR-22 is up then the DOL or other WA department should be able to tell you what steps to take in order stop carrying this certificate of insurance.
