Phone-based support · 24/7 phone line01The basics
What an SR-22 is
An SR-22 is a certificate connected to an auto insurance policy and filed with the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security. It is not a separate insurance policy. The insurer submits the certificate when required, while the policy provides the coverage shown in the minimums table.
02How it works
Three steps to move a filing forward
Read the notice.
Find the required certificate, agency instructions, suspension or revocation details, and any court paperwork before discussing coverage.
Explain your situation.
Share whether you own a car, borrow one, commute across Nashville, or need non-owner coverage so the policy type fits.
Compare the filing.
Review coverage, policy term, payment structure, and filing details with the insurer before deciding what to submit.
03Before you call
Four things worth knowing first
Who may need one
Tennessee drivers may be asked for an SR-22 after an OWI or DUI, a suspension or revocation, an uninsured ticket, a coverage lapse, or another qualifying driving matter. Your own notice decides whether a filing is required, what must be addressed, and which agency receives the record.
What changes the price
Insurers consider driving history, vehicle details, garaging address, coverage limits, policy type, payment history, and whether you own a car. Compare the total term premium, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee in words. The insurer sets the price, so quotes can differ even with the same SR-22 requirement.
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 record or notice. Check the Tennessee paperwork and confirm the required period with TDOSHS.
Why Nashville drivers call
The help is a clear, non-judgmental review of your insurance and filing questions. It cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, reinstate a license, or change what TDOSHS requires. Your notice, the court named on it, and the agency control those matters.
04Policy types
Which policy fits your situation
Owner policy
Ask about an owner policy if you have a vehicle registered or regularly kept in Nashville and need coverage tied to that car.
Non-owner policy
Ask about non-owner coverage if you do not own a car but may borrow vehicles, while confirming the policy fits your driving situation.
Non-owner details →Operator coverage
Ask how coverage applies when you drive vehicles belonging to relatives, friends, or an employer, especially during regular Nashville commuting.
Other vehicle classes
Ask whether motorcycles, commercial vehicles, or another vehicle class changes the policy or filing requirements described in your notice.

- $25,000
- Bodily injury, two or more people
- $50,000
- Property damage

Nashville neighbourhoods and everyday driving
Interstate 40 Commuting
Travel on Interstate 40 can connect Nashville neighborhoods with work and school outside the city. Tell the insurer where the vehicle is garaged and how it is used, since a commuting pattern and garaging address can affect the policy review.
Interstates 24 and 65
Interstate 24 and Interstate 65 bring regular traffic through Nashville and may be part of a daily route. If you borrow a vehicle for that travel, explain who owns it and how often you drive it when asking about non-owner or operator coverage.
Nashville Transit Options
Nashville transit may not serve every commute, so some drivers alternate between borrowing a car and using public transportation. Ask how occasional driving is treated, and keep your notice and any court paperwork available during the insurance discussion.

09FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Nashville?
Service is provided by phone from Mount Juliet, and there is no local office in Nashville. The phone line handles insurance and filing questions, while the insurer and TDOSHS make their own decisions.
Can I get an SR-22 in Nashville without owning a car?
You may be able to discuss a non-owner policy if you do not own a car. Eligibility depends on the insurer, your driving situation, and the requirements in your Tennessee notice.
Does Nashville garaging affect my SR-22 policy?
Yes, the vehicle garaging address is part of the policy information an insurer reviews. Give the accurate Nashville address and explain whether the vehicle is used for commuting, school, or occasional driving.
Which Nashville court is listed on my citation?
The court named on your citation controls court questions. Read the notice carefully and direct legal or ticket questions to that court. Insurance and filing questions can be reviewed separately from the court process.
Can Nashville transit replace non-owner insurance?
Using Nashville transit does not by itself answer whether you need coverage. If you sometimes borrow a car, ask the insurer whether a non-owner policy fits your driving and filing requirements.
Can I use out-of-state insurance while living in Nashville?
Tell the insurer where you live, where the vehicle is garaged, and which state issued the policy. The insurer must determine whether the policy and SR-22 filing meet Tennessee requirements.
Is an SR-22 a separate insurance policy?
No. An SR-22 is a certificate filed with TDOSHS through an insurer. The underlying auto insurance policy provides coverage, and the certificate communicates required financial responsibility to the agency.
How long do I need an SR-22 in Tennessee?
The filing period is for the length of the suspension or revocation period. Your notice and agency record control, and exceptions may apply, so check the required period with TDOSHS.
Does Tennessee use an FR-44?
No. Tennessee uses the SR-22 certificate for this filing type. Your notice still determines whether you need one and what other requirements may apply to your driving status.
Can an SR-22 reinstate my license?
No. An SR-22 may be one requirement among several, but it does not itself reinstate a license. Follow the notice and confirm your operating privilege is valid before driving.
What affects the cost of an SR-22 policy?
Insurers consider driving history, vehicle and garaging details, policy type, coverage, payment structure, and other underwriting factors. The insurer sets the price, and quotes can differ between insurers.
Is uninsured motorist coverage required in Tennessee?
Uninsured motorist coverage is included in policies unless the named insured rejects it in writing, but it is not mandatory. Ask how the coverage appears in the policy you are reviewing.
