An SR-22 is not specifically tied to the vehicle but to the driver as proof of financial responsibility. Even if you no longer own the vehicle that prompted the SR-22 requirement, you may still be required to maintain the SR-22 filing to satisfy state requirements until your obligation period ends, which is typically a set number of years as mandated by state law. If you fail to maintain the SR-22, your driving privileges could be suspended. It’s important to check with your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent authority and consult with your insurance provider to ensure you meet all legal obligations regarding the SR-22, even after selling the vehicle.
