sr22 Illinois
Reader’s Question:
I moved from Tennessee to Illinois. when I was still in Tennessee, I was required to carry an sr-22. Do I still have to continue it in my new location? Thank you.

Good question Raymond.
It is actually used differently in various states. Generally, an SR-22 insurance policy is a vehicle liability insurance policy that is required for restoring or reinstating after suspension or revocation of your drivers license. An SR-22 insurance is uniquely used for these kind of situations, because it is required by the insurance provider to inform the department of motor vehicles if the insurance policy is terminated, cancelled or lapses. Typically, if any of these things happen your license will be suspended until the insurance policy is brought current or has been reinstated. According the the laws of most states, you must purchase an SR-22 insurance for a certain period, usually three years, after the suspension or revocation has ended.
If you, for instance, apply for a drivers license in a different state, you will likely have to continue with the SR22 insurance policy. You may also contact the DMV in Tennessee and Illinois to make sure if it is still required for you to carry the SR22.
Goodluck!
