Arlington, VA

The amount of time one must maintain an SR-22 may differ in the state of Virginia but typically it must be maintained for three years after a DUI/DWI convictions.

According to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles site ,when 3 years have elapsed from the effective date of the revocation or suspension, the Department of Motor Vehicle relieves the car owner of the requirement of providing proof of financial responsibility. To check if this is true for your case you may contact the Virginia DMV.

All convictions of DWI/DUI of alcohol or drugs are all kept on your Virginia driving history for eleven years.
