How long is the SR22 filing requirement in Virginia?
No matter what the reason is for you needing to maintain an SR22 filing with the Virginia DMV, you will be required to maintain the filing for 3-years. If at any time during the 3-year required filing period if there is a lapse in your Virginia SR22 insurance coverage your insurance provider is obligated by law to inform the Virginia DMV of your lapse in coverage. If this happens the DMV is going to send you a “Notice of Suspension” letter telling you that your Virginia driver’s license has been suspended and in order to reinstate your driver’s license you will need to bring your insurance policy current and have your insurance provider file another SR22 form with the DMV. You will also be required to pay an additional driver’s license reinstatement fee to the DMV.
