The usual time that a motorist is required to carry an SR22 is three years in the state of Washington. The reason that you are required to obtain the SR22 may change the length of time you are required to maintain it though.
You can be required by the state of Washington to obtain an SR22 for different reasons from a driver’s license suspension reinstatement due to a DWI/DUI, accident without proof of car insurance or a second or subsequent violation of leaving a child unattended in a running car, etc.
The process you need to take to reinstate your drivers license after your DUI are determined by a lot of factors, whether you were previously involved in any DUI offense and your blood alcohol content.
