Thank you for asking Jean.

The SR-22 in Nevada can be required to an individual for a certain period of years depending upon the reason that you are required to get this financial responsibility certificate.

If you are mandated by the state to obtain an SR-22 due to being without an insurance while driving and got involved in an accident , the Nevada Department of Vehicles lists that you must carry that SR-22 coverage for 3 years.

The Nevada DMV discusses the SR-22 proof of financial responsibility under the suspension and revocation section. If you are mandated to purchase an SR-22 form to restore or reinstate your drivers license that was suspended or revoked due to a DUI or major traffic offenses, the period of required coverage begins when you actually reinstate your license, regardless of when this happens.

According to the NV DMV, there is no limit of time or statute of limitation on the requirements for the sr22. The DMV does not notify motorist when the period of required coverage ends. To get information when your SR-22 coverage can be ended, you may contact the Nevada DMV directly.

If you do not maintain SR-22 coverage during your required time period to carry it, your insurance provider will inform the DMV. Once the DMV has been notified about the cancellation, DMV will suspend your license and you will be informed by certified mail. To have your license reinstated you will need to again get SR-22 coverage and the required period of coverage will start over again.

Goodluck!
