How can I check if my car insurance is valid?
I'm a little worried that my car insurance might be invalid, as I haven't gotten a bill in a while. How can I check?

Good question! There are a few places you can check the validity of your insurance:
- Online. Some insurers will allow you to access insurance information online via their website. You can also check through your emails to find a copy of your policy’sdeclaration pageto learn about your policy.
- The Department of Public Safety. Some states will also allow you to verify your insurance via the Department of Public Safety, although you won’t be able to do this everywhere. You’ll need to provide your vehicle identification number (VIN), yourpolicy number, and insurance provider.
- The DMV. You can verify your insurance via the Department of Motor Vehicles. Be prepared to provide your license plate number and contact information.
- Your insurer. Sometimes, the most straightforward way to learn more about your insurance policy is to contact your insurer directly! As long as you have your insurance information with you, you should be able to get the necessary information on your policy.
