Phone-based support · 24/7 phone line01The basics
What an SR-22 is
An SR-22 is a certificate an insurer files with the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security for a driver who must show financial responsibility. It is not a separate policy. The policy supplies the coverage, while the certificate communicates required insurance information to the agency.
02How it works
Three steps to move a filing forward
Read the notice.
Find the reason for the requirement, the agency named, and any dates or instructions before discussing policy options.
Gather your details.
Have your Tennessee license information, vehicle details, prior insurance information, and notice available so the insurer can review the application.
Compare the filing.
Review the policy type, coverage, payment terms, and filing plan before deciding whether the option fits your driving situation.
03Before you call
The questions behind every filing
When Tennessee asks for an SR-22
Tennessee drivers may be asked for an SR-22 after certain suspensions or revocations, an uninsured ticket, a coverage lapse, or an OWI or DUI matter. The reason varies by record. Your own notice and the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security decide whether a filing is required.
What changes the price
The insurer sets the price based on driving history, vehicle type, garaging location, coverage limits, prior insurance, payment history, and policy type. Compare the total term premium, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee in words, not only the first payment. Different insurers may assess the same record differently.
How long it may be required
The filing period is for the length of the suspension or revocation period. Exceptions can apply based on the driving record or agency instructions, so check the notice and confirm the record with TDOSHS.
What the call covers
The discussion is practical and non-judgmental: it helps sort out the notice, policy type, and information an insurer may need. It cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, or reinstate a license. Those questions belong with the court named on the notice or TDOSHS.
04Policy types
Policy types to ask about
Owner policy
Ask about an owner policy if you own and regularly drive a vehicle in Hendersonville, including a car kept at your home near Old Hickory Lake.
Non-owner policy
Ask about a non-owner policy if you need coverage for occasional driving but do not own a vehicle. Eligibility depends on the insurer and your driving record.
Non-owner details →Operator coverage
Ask about operator coverage when your driving situation involves borrowed vehicles, household cars, or a vehicle you do not regularly keep or own.
Other vehicle classes
Ask how motorcycles, commercial vehicles, or other vehicle classes are handled before choosing coverage. The vehicle type and insurer rules can change the filing approach.

09FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Hendersonville?
No. Service is by phone from Mount Juliet, and there is no local Hendersonville office. The discussion covers insurance and filing questions, while the insurer and TDOSHS make their own decisions.
Does Hendersonville have a local court for my citation?
The correct court is the one named on your citation or notice. Do not assume a Hendersonville location handles the matter. Use that document for court questions and discuss insurance filing questions separately.
Can transit use affect a Hendersonville non-owner policy?
It can be relevant when you use transit for commuting but occasionally borrow a car in Hendersonville. Tell the insurer how often you drive, whether you own a vehicle, and whose vehicles you use.
Can I insure a car garaged in Hendersonville?
Yes, an insurer can review a vehicle garaged in Hendersonville, subject to its underwriting rules. Give the actual garaging address, regular drivers, vehicle use, and ownership information rather than an address used only for mailing.
Can Hendersonville drivers use out-of-state insurance?
Out-of-state insurance may not satisfy a Tennessee SR-22 requirement. Ask the insurer how the policy and filing must be handled for Tennessee, and check your notice and TDOSHS record before relying on another state's policy.
Can I file an SR-22 if I live near Old Hickory Lake?
Your Hendersonville location does not by itself determine eligibility. The insurer reviews your residence, vehicle ownership, driving record, and policy details, while TDOSHS determines whether the certificate meets the agency's requirement.
Is an SR-22 a separate insurance policy?
No. An SR-22 is a certificate filed by an insurer with TDOSHS. The underlying auto policy provides the coverage, and the certificate communicates that required insurance information to the agency.
Who decides whether I need an SR-22 in Tennessee?
Your notice and Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security record determine whether you need an SR-22. An insurer can discuss filing options, but it does not decide the agency requirement.
Does Tennessee use an FR-44?
No. Tennessee uses the SR-22 certificate for the filing situation described here. Your notice remains important because it explains the requirement connected with your record.
How long do I need an SR-22?
The filing period is for the length of the suspension or revocation period. Exceptions can apply, so check your notice and confirm the current record with TDOSHS.
Can I get an SR-22 without owning a car?
Possibly. A non-owner policy may be considered when you do not own a vehicle, but eligibility depends on the insurer, your driving record, and how you drive borrowed vehicles.
Will an SR-22 reinstate my license?
No. An SR-22 may be one requirement among several, but it does not reinstate a license. Check the notice and confirm your operating privilege with TDOSHS before driving.
