What to Do if You No Longer Need SR22 Form
Q: What do I do when I go to the DMV once I no longer have to file the SR22 form?
A: Well, it depends on how exactly you came to be not having to file your DMVsr22 form. For example, if you aren’t filing the form because you cancelled your insurance coverage, then there’s nothing in particular you will have to do with the DMVsr22 office. Your car insurance company will, once they have your cancellation or once you miss a payment on your premium, file another form, which si called an SR26, with the Department of Motor Vehicles. This is the cancellation form, and will inform them that your SR22 is no longer valid. When they receive this form, your driver’s license will be suspended until you are able to get reinsured, at which time you can go through the entire reinstatement process all over again.
Now, if you chose not to file your DMVsr22 isnrance in the first place and instead go without driving for a few years, then it will be slightly different. There isn’t anything special you will have to do concerning the DMVsr22 office, but when you go will depend on which state you got your SR22 requirement in. Most states only require you to file an SR22 for two or three years, but if you choose not to file an SR22 form they want you to wait five years–doesn’t make sense, but that’s how it is. So make sure before you go that enough time has passed for you to be able to get your license back with no strings attached. Once you’re sure it has, then you can get your license back after paying all of the associated fees and fines.
