How do I check if my car is still insured?
If you’re not sure whether your insurance is still active, log into your insurance company’s app or website, or contact your insurance agent.

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?
You can check with your last known insurance provider, your Secretary of State, or request a quote from a new company.
First, try to get in touch with the company that last insured your vehicle:
- Check online: Try to log into your online account and see if the website lists your policy details.
- Call the company: An insurance agent may be able to give you information by phone.
If that doesn’t work, try reaching out to your Secretary of State. In many states, you can get information about your car’s insurance from the Office of the Secretary of State:
- Your personal information: Be prepared to share your full name and address.
- Your vehicle information: You may need to provide your license plate number, VIN, or other registration information.
Finally, you can try this cool hack—get a new
car insurance quote
! When you request a car insurance quote, the insurance agent will usually get access to an online report showing your current insurance provider (and whether your policy is active).Best of luck to you!
