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.

    No, they are not the exact same thing. The SR 22 is an additional form from the insurance company. Here is a brief explanation, and some sites that might help you:

    "About SR22 Insurance

    By Shelley Frost, eHow Contributor

    A person who finds herself needing SR22 insurance likely understands the reason for the requirement but may not know exactly what SR22 means. Rather than being a specific type of auto insurance policy, SR22 is a form attached to a regular policy. Individuals with certain driving infractions are required to maintain the filing with the state.

    And from another:

    "In the United States, an SR-22 is a vehicle liability insurance document used by some state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) offices. A DMV may require an SR-22 from a driver to reinstate his or her driving privileges following an uninsured car accident or conviction of another traffic-related offense, such as a DUI.[1][2] An SR-22 may be required for three years for driving without insurance or driving with a suspended license and up to five years for a DUI.[3] If an SR-22 should expire or be canceled, the insurance company is required to issue an SR-26 form, which certifies the cancellation of the policy." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SR-22_%28insurance%29
