The SR22 insurance filing requirement period differs in Cranston RI because it is set by the court when you are convicted of certain violations.

Typically, the amount of time one will be required to carry a SR-22 filing is 3 years but in Rhode Island since the court sets the time period it may be the standard three years or a different period of time. To know exactly the length of time the court determined for you in your specific case you should be able to contact the Rhode Island Department of Motor Vehicles or read over your court papers to check if they say how long a financial responsibility certificate must be filed.

If you find out that the time period to carry your SR-22 is up and the state of RI is no longer requiring you to maintain it then the Department of Motor Vehicle or Rhode Island insurance regulator should be able to advise you what steps you have to take so that you can take off the SR22 certificate / form from your car insurance policy. An insurance carrier will usually want proof that the SR22 can be cancelled and will no longer have to be filed on your behalf to the state.
