How long will it take for my car insurance policy to become active through GEICO?

How long will it be until the policy is active and I'm legal to drive? I want to start driving as soon as possible.

It's usually a fairly quick process for a
car insurance
company like
GEICO
to activate your new policy and send you
proof of insurance
:
Proof of insurance: You can usually access online proof of insurance within a day of completing an online application and submitting your payment. At this point, you're good to begin driving.
Start of coverage: Check the details of your policy to find the active start date—your coverage will begin that day.
