SR 22 insurance requirements vary by state, but this will have no bearing on your current SR 22 should you relocate. If, for example, you move from Colorado to Vermont, you will still be required to follow the SR22 insurance requirements for Colorado, the state where your infraction occurred.
This "infraction state rule" also applies to auto insurance liability requirements. Should you, for example, move from Colorado, where the car insurance liability requirements are 25/50/15, to New Jersey where the liability minimums are considerably less, 15/30/5, you will still be held to Colorado's insurance requirements while fulfilling your SR 22.
Insurance companies are required by law to notify DMV officials whenever a registered driver drops his or her car insurance. Allowing your auto insurance to lapse is not recommended, especially if you carry SR 22, which essentially labels you as a "high risk" driver.
In addition to having your drivers license suspended, you may also face possible jail time and have your SR22 requirement extended for several more years.

Maintain SR 22 Insurance or Face a Suspended License
Moving to a new state will not remove your SR22 obligations. Should you allow your SR22 coverage, or what some call DUI insurance (depending on the reason for filing), to lapse, you will risk having your drivers license and/or car registration suspended.Insurance companies are required by law to notify DMV officials whenever a registered driver drops his or her car insurance.
