How do you get a new insurance card for your car?

How can I get a new insurance card? I can’t find my current card and am worried about getting pulled over without it.

Don’t worry, there are three ways to get a new insurance card for your car. You can try the following:
  • By mail: Request a copy of your insurance card from your provider, and they can send it to you by mail.
  • By email to print out: If you would rather print out a copy to get it immediately, you can ask your company to email you a copy of the card instead.
  • Through a mobile app: Some companies will provide a digital copy of the insurance ID card by accessing the app.
You’re right to be worried, though! It is important to contact your insurer to send you a copy of your ID card as soon as possible, as it is illegal to drive without proof of insurance.
If you were to get pulled over or in an accident and do not have
proof of insurance
on you despite being insured, the police can provide instructions to rectify the situation to avoid being fined or getting your license suspended.
