Proof of Financial Responsibility


Proof of Financial Responsibility    

When you buy an auto policy, your insurance company will send you a proof-of-insurance card. You will need to show proof of insurance when you

  • have an accident
  • register your car or renew its registration
  • obtain or renew your driver’s license
  • get your car inspected.
