Good Question Will.
In Louisiana the length of time an individual must carry the sr-22 certificate depends on the reason for requiring the financial responsibility or sr-22. To know if you only need to maintain it for 3 years and if this length of time began at the time which your drivers license was suspended or when you actually first filed the form you will have to contact the Louisiana Department of Public Safety.
You may want to contact the Motor Vehicle Reinstatement offices since this is regarding license reinstatement. They can assist you with reinstatement as well as cancellation and suspension.
Suspension or revocation of your driver’s license have the same affect on your driving privileges, you are not allowed to drive since you have invalid license. The differences between the two are the penalties for being convicted of driving while suspended and the reinstatement requirements.
Generally, you are not allowed to drive for a specific amount of time if your license is suspended.
You are allowed to restore your driving privilege and in most cases you must re-test (both written and drive) to be issued a new license when driving privilege was suspended after serving the required period.
Goodluck!
