The standard SR22 filing period is 3 years in most states, starting from the date your driving privileges are reinstated. Some states require longer periods depending on the severity of the offense — repeat DUI offenders may need SR22 for 5 years or more. The exact duration is specified in your court order or state DMV/DPS notification. It’s critical to maintain continuous coverage for the entire required period, as any lapse can restart the clock.
