Can I take a driving test if the registration has expired and I don't have an insurance card?

My car registration expired a few weeks ago, and I can't find my insurance card. Can I still go ahead with my driving test?

Eric Schad · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“The DMV where you take your driver’s test is the same place where you pay for your registration. Obviously, they will check to see if your vehicle is registered, and if it’s not, they will tell you that you need to register it when you arrive.
Furthermore, no DMV will allow you to take a test in an uninsured vehicle. This is not only for legal reasons, but also for the safety of the employee administering the driving test.
So if you’re going to take the test, make sure to bring money to re-register the vehicle, as well as an up-to-date insurance card. If you can’t find a paper copy of your proof of
car insurance
 and you need it in a pinch, you should be able to download a card from your insurance provider’s website.”

What Others Are Asking

What is the penalty for driving on the hard shoulder?
What penalties do they give for driving on the hard shoulder? Sometimes it’s really tempting to just zip around parts of the traffic to get to where I’m going, but I know I’m not supposed to. Would I just get a ticket?

"Can I refuse a dealer's car loan after getting approved? "
One dealer approved me on the spot for auto financing. I only signed a piece of paper saying that they could try to find financing for me, but I told them that I had to think about the offer. Another dealer has since offered a better deal. Am I locked into the first dealership's offer?
