How do I check if my car is still insured?
I'm worried that my policy might have expired, but I’m not completely sure. How can I check if my car is insured or not?

Good on you for wanting to be on top of things! You should definitely figure out your car’s insurance status as soon as possible—and luckily, there are a few different ways you can do that:
- Check online. If you know where your car was last insured, you can check your insurer’s website to see if they list your policy details.
- Call your provider. If the website doesn’t have answers, contacting your provider directly will likely get you the information you need.
- Contact the Motor Insurance Database. The MID will do a free check on your car, as long as it is registered to you or your employer. You’ll need to provide yourregistration informationto access the info.
- Call the Secretary of State. In a lot of states, you can get information about your car’s insurance from the Office of the Secretary of State. You’ll need to provide your license number and possibly other information about your vehicle as well.
- Get a quote. When you request a car insurance quote, your insurance agent will usually get access to an online report showing your current insurance provider (and if your policy is active).
If you find that you don’t have insurance, or if the insurance policy you do have isn’t working for you, check out the
