You can get your SR-22 removed in California after 3 years by notifying your insurance company, which will cancel the SR-22 filing with the state. Sometimes, the DMV will send you a notice letting you know when your SR-22 period is over.
If you're not sure whether you've satisfied your SR-22 certification requirement, you can find out when you'll be able to remove the high-risk SR-22 label from your driving record by contacting the DMV. Drivers who cancel their SR-22 coverage too early risk having their license suspended or facing fines.
Once you cancel your SR-22, your insurance premiums will likely go down because you are no longer considered as high-risk. As a result, you should get quotes from different insurance companies to make sure that you're still getting the best deal. Additionally, if you do not own a car but were previously required to file a non-owner SR-22, you are free to cancel your insurance altogether.
