## What the source says

> Keep It for 3 Years Failure to maintain continuous SR-22 coverage will result in the suspension of your license and will restart the three-year requirement. The three-year SR-22 requirement begins upon reinstatement of your Nevada driver's license. Do not obtain an SR-22 before reinstatement, as it will not count toward the requirement.
