This depends on your insurance provider, but most companies have made it pretty easy to sign up for a new policy online or over the phone in under an hour. Once you’ve made your first payment, you can usually access a digital copy of your
proof of insurance
by the end of the day. Your physical insurance card should arrive in the mail shortly thereafter.
