Do I still have to file for an SR22 after moving from Texas to Minnesota?

In Texas, I was required to keep an SR-22 active for five years. Now that I am two years in, I am in the process of moving to Minnesota. Will I still need to have my SR22 filed?

If an
SR-22 filing
, or a “certificate of financial responsibility,” is required for your current state, it is in your best interest to keep filing the form even if you move to another state.
Before you move, check with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TXDMV) to see how to go about this.
  • Minnesota doesn’t have SR-22 requirements, so you will probably need to complete and mail a paper form to the TXDMV (it’s usually handled electronically)
Then, check with your current insurance provider to ensure they can file a cross-state SR-22—not all companies can. 
  • If yours cannot, it is time to shop for a new
    car insurance
    policy!
  • Reach out to a large carrier like
    GEICO
    or
    Progressive
    for assistance since they have policy coverage in both states
Not following through on the SR-22 requirements could mean that your
Texas license gets suspended
, which can make it very challenging to get an active license in another state.
