How do I check my car insurance status online?
I thought I bought a car insurance policy, but now I'm not so sure. How would I check my car insurance status online?

One way is by checking with the company you thought you had a car insurance policy through. You can do this by logging into your account online (if you have one) or using their mobile app.
Another option is to look through your email. Most car insurance companies send documents electronically. So if you purchased a car insurance policy, the policy documents would likely be there.
Some keywords you can use to search for your policy documents are:
If you still can’t find anything, you could also try the DMV. Most states allow you to search your insurance information through their online database. Typically, you are required to provide your license plate number and VIN to do so.
You may try the Secretary of State office, as well. They sometimes keep records of insurance coverage.
Your last resort would be to look through your bank or credit card statements. Search the name of your insurance company or the keyword insurance to see if there are any charges.
If you can’t find any record of the policy, it’s likely it was never purchased. But don’t worry! The
