This will depend upon state laws and the reason behind why you are required to carry an SR-22. An individual can be mandated to carry this even without a driver’s license. According to the VA Department of Motor Vehicles , Financial Responsibility certifications (SR-22 or SR-26) are required in Virginia for unsatisfied judgments, driver license suspension as a result of a major conviction and uninsured motor vehicle suspension.
If you get caught doing any of these violations then even though you dont have a license yet, you could be required to get an SR-22.
Just because an individual does not have a driver’s license does not necessarily mean that the state has not began a driving record for the individual. If you get caught driving without a license and are also cited for a moving violation, these can be put in record under a driver’s record even if you have not acquired a license.
