Reader’s Question:

Am I going to be notified by the DMV if I no longer need to carry the sr-22?

Good Question John.

It actually depends upon the law of the state and guidelines of the Department of Motor Vehicles whether they will notify you or you need to call the state about removing the SR22. In some states, DMV will send notification that you no longer need to carry the SR-22, while other states may not require their DMV to do so.

If the DMV is not required to let you know when your period to carry the SR-22 is already up, then you were likely told already when you started carrying the SR-22 when you would be able to cancel it.

I would suggest that you check with your state DMV to get information if your SR-22 time limit is up and if so how to go about canceling it. You may also talk to your insurance agent about removing it or you may need to provide your insurance agent with some documentation from the DMV that you are no longer required to carry the sr-22.

In most states when you terminate your SR-22, your insurance company will need to file a SR-26 to notify the state that you terminated the SR-22. This is a form showing the cancellation of SR-22 financial responsibility certificate insurance in the form of sr-26.

Goodluck!
