The basics
What an SR-22 is
An SR-22 is a certificate an insurer files with the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security. It shows that the required liability coverage is in place. It is not a separate insurance policy, and the policy must remain active according to the insurer's terms.
01How it works
How an SR-22 filing gets done
Read the notice
Find the required certificate name, agency instructions, suspension or revocation details, and any court information before discussing coverage.
Gather your details
Have your driver information, vehicle or non-owner needs, address, and current insurance history available for an accurate policy discussion.
Review the filing
Compare policy details and filing requirements with the notice, remembering that the insurer decides whether and how quickly it can file.
02Before you call
What to know before you call
When Tennessee asks for an SR-22
Tennessee drivers may be asked for an SR-22 after a DUI, suspension, revocation, uninsured ticket, lapse, or another event identified by the state. A driver without a car may still need to discuss non-owner coverage. Your own notice from the court or TDOSHS decides whether a filing is required.
What it costs
Cost depends on the driving record, the reason for the filing, vehicle details, garaging location, coverage limits, prior insurance history, and policy type. Compare the total term premium, down payment, installment charges, and filing fee in words. The insurer sets the price, and different insurers may assess the same record differently.
How long you need it
The SR-22 filing period is for the length of the suspension or revocation period. Exceptions or added requirements may apply. Check the notice and your TDOSHS record rather than assuming the filing ends when a policy is cancelled or expires.
Why drivers call us
The conversation is practical and non-judgmental: it helps sort the notice, policy type, coverage, and filing questions. It cannot erase a ticket, decide a court case, or reinstate a license. Court and status questions belong with the court named on the notice or TDOSHS.
03Policy types
Which policy fits your situation
Owner policy
Ask about coverage for a vehicle you own or regularly keep in Jonesborough, including the correct garaging address and vehicle use.
Non-owner policy
Ask whether non-owner coverage fits if you do not own a car but may drive borrowed vehicles around Jonesborough or Washington County.
Non-owner details →Operator coverage
Discuss your driving situation if you use vehicles belonging to household members, relatives, or others and need the filing tied to your record.
Other vehicle classes
Mention motorcycles, commercial use, or unusual vehicle arrangements before quoting, because insurer rules and filing options can differ.

05Local context
Jonesborough neighbourhoods and everyday driving
State Route 81 Commutes
A Jonesborough address may reflect daily travel on Tennessee State Route 81 toward Johnson City or other Washington County destinations. Tell the insurer where the vehicle is kept overnight and how it is used, because garaging and commuting details can affect underwriting.
State Route 354 Driving
Trips along Tennessee State Route 354 can connect Jonesborough residents with longer rural drives and changing road conditions. If you borrow a vehicle for those trips, ask about non-owner eligibility rather than listing a car you do not own.
Jonesborough Garaging Address
Use the actual Jonesborough address where the vehicle is primarily kept, not a convenient mailing address. A move, seasonal arrangement, or household vehicle change should be explained so the insurer can review the correct garaging and driver information.

- Using an old address can cause the insurer to review the wrong garaging information.
- Assuming an SR-22 is a separate policy can lead to misunderstood coverage terms.
- Driving a borrowed car without asking whether the selected policy applies can leave important questions unanswered.
- Ignoring a court or TDOSHS notice can leave other requirements unresolved.
08FAQs
SR-22 questions from Jonesborough drivers
Do you have an office in Jonesborough?
No. Service is provided by phone from Johnson City, and there is no local office in Jonesborough. The phone line handles insurance and filing questions, while TDOSHS and the court named on your notice handle official records and case matters.
Can Jonesborough drivers get SR-22 help by phone?
Yes. Jonesborough drivers can discuss SR-22 policy and filing questions by phone from Johnson City. Have the notice, driver information, vehicle details if applicable, and Jonesborough garaging address ready for the insurer's review.
Which court handles a Jonesborough citation?
The court named on your citation handles court questions. Read the citation carefully and use the listed court for case information. Insurance and SR-22 discussions do not decide the citation, hearing, or court outcome.
Can transit users in Jonesborough qualify for non-owner coverage?
Transit use by itself does not determine eligibility for non-owner coverage. If you do not own a car but sometimes borrow or rent one in Jonesborough, ask the insurer to review your driving pattern and filing requirement.
What if my car is garaged in Jonesborough?
Tell the insurer that the vehicle is primarily garaged in Jonesborough and provide the actual address. Garaging location, household drivers, vehicle use, and commuting patterns can affect underwriting and should match the policy application.
Can I use out-of-state insurance while living in Jonesborough?
Out-of-state insurance may not satisfy a Tennessee SR-22 requirement. Ask the insurer to review your residence, vehicle location, policy state, and TDOSHS notice before assuming an existing policy can support the filing.
Is an SR-22 a separate insurance policy?
No. An SR-22 is a certificate filed by an insurer with TDOSHS. It is connected to an insurance policy that meets the required coverage, rather than being coverage purchased separately.
Who receives the SR-22 filing in Tennessee?
The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security receives the SR-22 filing. The insurer submits the certificate when it accepts the policy and filing request. Your notice and TDOSHS record control the official requirement.
How long do I need an SR-22 in Tennessee?
The filing period is for the length of the suspension or revocation period. Exceptions may apply, so check your notice and TDOSHS record instead of relying on a general assumption about when the filing ends.
Does Tennessee use an FR-44?
No. Tennessee uses the SR-22 certificate for this filing requirement. The exact need still depends on your notice, the underlying suspension or revocation, and the record maintained by TDOSHS.
Is uninsured motorist coverage required in Tennessee?
Uninsured motorist coverage is included in policies unless the named insured rejects it in writing; it is not mandatory. Ask the insurer how that choice appears on your policy and how it relates to your broader coverage needs.
Can an SR-22 reinstate my Tennessee license?
No. An SR-22 may be one requirement among several, but it does not itself reinstate a license or operating privilege. Check the notice and confirm status with TDOSHS before driving.
