Can employers verify car insurance with your driver's license and social security number?

I got offered a job, but they require that I have car insurance. They want me to send them a copy of my policy now. I plan on getting it once I get hired. Would they be able to verify that I'm uninsured with my driver's license or social security number?

Your potential employer typically won’t have access to any reporting showing your prior or current insurance information. This is likely why they are requesting you send in a copy of your policy for them to verify.
If you need car insurance to get the job, the best thing to do would be to look into a few different carriers. You may be able to find
affordable car insurance
by comparison shopping.
Most car insurance plans also only require a downpayment to start the policy. Find a policy with a down payment you can afford right now. You can also start with the state minimum, which is the most basic coverage and therefore the cheapest, then add more coverage later on.
If you don’t own a vehicle now, you can still get
non-owner insurance coverage
, which gives you basic protection at minimal costs. This is good for people who drive but don’t own the car they use.
Even if you don’t get the job, you should still get car insurance. It is required in most states and is essential to ensure the safety of you and others on the road.
