Is minimum coverage car insurance the same as an SR22?

In Tennessee, is minimum coverage car insurance the same as an SR22? I already have minimum coverage but am now required to get an SR22. Is this something that needs to be added on or will minimum coverage suffice?

Thanks.

    SR-22: When do you need it?

    SR-22 (the “SR” stands for “safety responsibility”) is a document that verifies that someone has automobile insurance. The SR-22 is prepared by an insurance company and then filed (by the insurance company) with the department of motor vehicles (DMV). The SR-22 is not an insurance policy. It is evidence that you have a policy.

    Typically, an SR-22 is required when a driver seeks to reinstate a driver’s license after being convicted of a DUI, reckless driving, driving without insurance, or some other driving violation that’s resulted in a suspension. The SR-22 may be required whether you own a vehicle (owner SR-22) or not (non-owner SR-22). The SR-22 is usually required for a number of years – for example, five years following a DUI conviction. If the policy holder fails to pay the premiums, the SR-22 is cancelled and an SR-26 is filed with the DMV. When the DMV receives the SR-26, the policy holder’s license is suspended until a new SR-22 is filed.

    an SR22 is required by the DMV when you have pending traffic violations or any violation having to do with driving.

    usualy you have to prove to the DMV you have a SR22 form from your auto insurance company.

    in some states when you have a SR22 applied on your insurance it will stipulate how long you have to keep up monthly payments without missing 1 payment.

    if you do not comply with this ruling you can lose your drivers license.

    it doesn't matter if you have insurance or not because the SR22 is the insurance that comes with "strict regulations".

    hope this helps & good luck.
