How long does it take to add another person to your car insurance?

My dad wants to add me to his car insurance policy. I'm 17 years old and I plan to keep living with him for the next few years. How long will it take?

  • Your name and birthday
  • Your driver’s license number
  • Your accident and ticket record
  • Your Social Security number
