According to 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 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 provided it is not required on any other suspension. If 5 years pass from the date of suspension before you reinstate your privileges, then the SR-22 would not be required. If the SR-22 is cancelled before the required time and a new form is not filed, your driving privileges will be suspended. 

A SR-22 form is proof of future financial responsibility as required under Tennessee Code Annotated 55-12-114. If you are required to file a SR-22, then you should contact a liability insurance representative and advise them of the needed filing with our state. The form must be filed by an insurance company licensed through the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance to issue motor vehicle liability insurance coverage in Tennessee. The minimum limits of liability required in Tennessee is 25/50/10. The TN Department of Safety cannot furnish blank forms. The forms must be issued from a liability insurance company.
