Proof of Insurance

Proof of insurance is required to be presented when a vehicle registration (license plate) is issued or renewed.

Proof of insurance can be the original or copy of the insurance coverage and must have:

Individuals or Small Business: The name of the insurance company, the policy number, name of the owner, the effective and expiration date of the coverage, the year, make and VIN for the vehicle. You will need proof of insurance for each vehicle.

If the vehicle is newly acquired and you are transferring the license plate from a vehicle you traded in or recently sold, you may use the proof of insurance from the vehicle which was traded in or recently sold. (Recently means within the last 30 days.)

If the vehicle is newly acquired and you are NOT transferring a license plate you will need a binder from your insurance agent. The binder will need the name of the insurance company, name of the owner, the effective and expiration date of the coverage, the year, make and VIN for the vehicle, and policy number if available.

Fleet or commercial vehicles: The name of the insurance company, the policy number, name of the owner, the effective and expiration date of the coverage, and a reference that the coverage is for fleet or commercial vehicles.
