How do I change my name on my car insurance?
I legally changed my name recently. Now I’m wondering how to change my name on my car insurance policy. Where do I start?

“Changing your name on your car insurance is a much simpler process than changing it legally—so the hard part is already done!
To amend your policy, you may either call your insurance company or make the changes online on the company’s website. If your insurer has a mobile application, you may also be able to update your information there. You will need to provide your
policy number
and personal information in order to do so.While some states allow vehicles to be
registered
and insured under different names, using separate names may cause confusion and affect settlement payouts. So call your local DMV or search its website to find information pertaining to changing the name on your vehicle registration and title, as well.Since you’re updating your policy information, it might be a great time to review your insurance coverage and premium. To find a better price or add or remove coverage, check out the
