Thank you for asking Dan.

In Virginia, the time one must carry a SR-22 may vary in but usually it must be held for 3 years after a DUI/DWI convictions.

According to the VA Department of Motor Vehicles site when three years have elapsed from the effective date of the suspension or revocation, the DMV relieves the owner of the vehicle of the requirement of furnishing proof of financial responsibility or sr22. To verify this information regarding your specific case you may contact the contact the VA DMV.

I most states, being convicted of driving while intoxicated, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or driving while intoxicated and maiming are all kept on your driving record for 11 years.

Goodluck!
