How to Download and Print Your Car Insurance Policy Documents

Losing your car insurance ID cards can be a real hassle. You’re probably worried about being pulled over without them and the hassle of replacing them. You can quickly get a duplicate copy from your insurance company. Whether you go online or call the company on the phone, the process is relatively easy. In this guide, we’ll walk you through both procedures so you’re prepared if you ever need to replace your policy.

Having a duplicate copy of your proof of car insurance is pretty important. In most states, carrying proof of auto insurance is the law. You could face severe fines or other consequences if you don’t carry auto insurance. Your auto insurance policy is there to protect you and your car financially if you get into an accident, it’s stolen, or if something else unexpected happens. That means having a copy of your policy documents is not just a good idea—it’s a must.

Suppose you bought your auto insurance policy online. In that case, you can download a duplicate original policy document in just a few steps.

1. Go to your insurance provider’s website. You can find their website by searching for it online.
2. Log in with your credentials—your policy number, registered mobile number, or name should do the trick.
3. The “View ID Cards” link (usually in the “Policy Documents” section) is where you can download or print a copy of your policy documents.
4. Save the PDF or print a copy of it. They can also send this via email.

This is usually the quickest way to get a duplicate copy of your policy documents.

If you want to get duplicate policy documents by phone, follow the steps listed below.

1. Contact your insurance provider’s customer service and let them know you’ve lost your policy ID card. They’ll guide you through the process.
2. You may need to submit a written request stating why you need a duplicate ID card.
3. You may be asked to provide proof of your vehicle’s registration and a valid photo ID.
4. There might be a small fee for reprinting and mailing the documents to you.

A duplicate car insurance ID card gives you peace of mind and ensures you comply with the law. Knowing both online and over the phone processes means you can act quickly if you need to replace your policy documents.

Below, we’ve compiled a guide to help you download and print your car insurance policy and proof of insurance cards from each major US insurance provider.

This guide includes step by step instructions, what information you’ll need to log in online, and whether you can use a desktop site or mobile app. We’ve also included links to the insurance company’s website login or mobile app.

State Farm

1. Log in to State Farm online: Visit the State Farm online account login page and sign in with your user ID and password. (If you haven’t registered, you must create an account using your policy number and personal details first.)

5. Mobile option: You can also access your ID cards using the State Farm mobile app (iOS/Android). The app offers quick access to digital insurance cards and the ability to save them (even to Apple Wallet). This is handy if you need a proof of insurance card on the go.

The app allows you to save or show the card on your phone. Make sure you’ve registered online first as the app uses the same login.
5. Additional tip: Chubb may email your insurance documents when your policy starts. Check your email for any PDF attachments from Chubb. Your temporary insurance ID card may be included; you can print it without logging in. Otherwise, the portal steps above will get you the ID card whenever you need a new one.

Amica Mutual

1. Log in to Amica’s online account: Visit Amica’s account login page (amica.com and click Login). Sign in with your User ID and password.

If you need a physical copy right now, you can email it to yourself or someone else from the app. Because Amica’s app and site sync, you’ll see any new card on both.

AAA Insurance

AAA Insurance” is provided by different regional AAA clubs, but most follow similar processes.

1. Log in to your AAA insurance account: Many AAA auto insurance customers can use the AAA MyPolicyonline service (offered by clubs like CSAA, Auto Club, etc.). If your AAA club provides online access, log in on their insurance portal. For example, CSAA Insurance Group (AAA) uses MyPolicy at mypolicy.aaa.com—you’d register with your AAA membership number and policy number to gain access. Check your AAA insurance card or bill for instructions on how to use an online account specific to your region.
2. Access proof of insurance: Once logged in to the AAA insurance portal, find the link for “Proof of Insurance / ID Cards."

AAA will format two cards per page (one for your wallet, one for your vehicle). Print and cut them out. AAA’s guidelines often say that online ID cards are an easy alternative to waiting for the mail.

6. AAA mobile app: Many AAA clubs also allow digital insurance cards via their AAA mobile app. For example, the Auto Club and AAA Mobile apps let you log in and access your insurance ID card on your phone (some even integrate with Apple Wallet). If you’re in a state/club that supports this, you could use the app to show proof or email yourself the card, but printing from the web portal as above will give you a paper copy for your glovebox.

The app lets you view, save, and even directly print or email your policy documents and ID cards. For example, you could open the app, view your ID card, and use the share option to email it to a printer or your email address.

Mercury also notes that nearly every state accepts digital ID cards, so showing it on your phone via the app is also an option if you don’t have a printer.

Kemper

1. Log in or create a Kemper account: Go to Kemper’s customer login page. (Kemper has separate portals for different product lines; for personal auto, you’ll use Kemper’s auto customer login.)

Make sure the printed card has all the information and is legible. Kemper’s online portal should produce an official ID card that’s acceptable as proof of insurance.
5. Alternate (if no portal access): If you have trouble online, you can always call Kemper’s customer service or your insurance agent to request they send you an ID card. Kemper also has a mobile app for auto customers, the Kemper Auto app, which provides quick access to your insurance information, including ID cards.

The app allows on-the-go access to your insurance info – you can view/print documents and even order ID cards.

1. Use Sentry/Dairyland online access: If your policy is with Sentry or Dairyland, go to My Account on Sentry’s site or the Dairyland customer portal. For Dairyland customers, go to my.dairylandinsurance.com and log in. For Sentry-branded personal auto, you can also use Dairyland’s system (Dairyland is the arm of Sentry for auto insurance). If you haven’t registered, create an account with your policy number and name.
2. ID cards: Once logged in (either on Sentry’s site or Dairyland’s), find View Documents or Policy Documents. You can access policy information and print ID cards anytime with an online account. For Dairyland, you should see an option for ID Cards or Proof of Insurance under your policy.
3. Get the ID card: If using Dairyland’s portal, selecting “ID cards” will probably show your insurance card on the screen or give you a PDF download. If using Sentry’s site directly, they might redirect you to Dairyland’s interface (since Dairyland handles personal auto). Either way, you’ll get to a point where you can see your Auto ID card.
4. Print the ID card: If given, download the ID card PDF and print it, or print directly from the browser display. Make sure it prints clearly. Tip: Dairyland’s mobile app or site might also list Instant ID cards as a benefit—meaning you can print an ID card right after you buy a policy. So you can print that at the start of your policy.
5. Mobile app: Dairyland Mobile App: If your policy is through Dairyland, the Dairyland app (Android/iOS) will let you view your ID card offline. You can use the app to display your insurance card or email it to yourself. If you have a Sentry policy, check if a Sentry or Dairyland app applies. In either case, print a hard copy using the steps above for compliance.

MAPFRE Insurance

1. Log in to MAPFRE MyAccount: MAPFRE offers an online customer portal in states like Massachusetts and Arizona. Go to myaccount.mapfreinsurance.com and log in. If you do not have login credentials yet, register to create an account – you will need your MAPFRE policy number and some personal information to verify (such as your last name and possibly your ZIP code).
2. Find ID cards/documents: Once logged in, go to your auto policy. There should be a section for “ID Cards & Documents” or “Policy Documents." In MAPFRE’s portal, look for a link that says “Download ID Card” or just check under your auto policy’s documents list.
3. View the ID card: Click on the auto policy ID card to view it. The system should show your insurance card. If nothing appears, make sure pop-ups are allowed or check if the file downloaded (it might have saved a PDF to your downloads).
4. Print the ID card: Print it out with the ID card open (typically in PDF form). Use your PDF viewer’s print function. The card will look exactly like the one mailed to you. Massachusetts customers: You’ll notice MAPFRE includes your registration barcode on the card, as required by the RMV. Print on white paper and cut it down to wallet size if you prefer. Note: If you prefer not to use the online portal, you can always contact MAPFRE to mail you an extra ID card. But the online method is instant. According to MAPFRE, once you opt into online access, you get electronic delivery of documents and can print them anytime.
5. Mobile access: MAPFRE has a mobile app called GO MAPFRE. In the app, after logging in, you can pull up your policy and view your ID card electronically. For printing, you’d still use the web portal or have the card emailed. MAPFRE’s digital-first approach means the electronic ID in the app is always available (in many states like MA, digital proof is accepted). If you need a physical card from the app, use the app’s share feature to send the ID card PDF to your email for printing.

Alfa Insurance

1. Log in to MyAlfa: Visit the Alfa Insurance MyAlfa portal and log in with your username and password. If you haven’t set up MyAlfa, click “Register” and create an account. You’ll need your Alfa customer or policy number to link your policy to the account. Alfa provides guidance on where to find those numbers in your documents.)
2. Select your auto policy: In MyAlfa, under “My Policies," find your auto insurance policy. For each policy, there will be an “I want to…” dropdown menu. Click that dropdown.
3. Choose “Get Auto ID Cards." From the dropdown actions, select “Get Auto ID Cards." Alfa offers this option to generate your proof of insurance. After selecting, the system will auto-select your vehicle(s) on that policy.
4. View and print ID cards: Click the “View Cards” link after selecting Get Auto ID Cards. Your Alfa insurance ID card(s) will open in PDF format (it may open in Adobe Reader if you have that since Alfa mentions it uses Adobe for IDs). Once open, click the print icon in Adobe Reader (or within your browser if it opened there). Print the ID cards. If multiple vehicles were selected, the PDF may contain multiple ID cards – be sure to print all pages. Confirm by clicking OK to print. Repeat the viewing/printing for each vehicle if needed (Alfa notes you might have to do steps 3–5 for each car individually).
5. Alternate delivery: If you can’t print out your ID cards, Alfa can send them to you. Your local Alfa insurance agent-or Alfa’s customer service (1-800-964-2532; press one, then 3)-can help with that. But the fastest way is usually through MyAlfa. The Alfa2Go mobile app gives you digital ID cards you can show on your phone or save electronically.

COUNTRY Financial

1. Log in to COUNTRY Financial account: To view your auto insurance ID card through COUNTRY Financial, start by logging in to your account. If you haven’t already, create one by clicking “Register” on the login page and following the prompts with your policy details (you’ll need a valid email, your policy or account number and ZIP).
2. Click the “Insurance Card link”: Once you are logged in, look at your account overview for the “Quick Links” section. There, you’ll find an “Insurance card” link under your auto policy’s quick links.
3. View the ID card PDF: Your auto insurance ID card will appear on the screen as a PDF—or prompt a download. You can either view this file directly in your browser or download it to your device.
4. Download or open the file: If the PDF doesn’t open automatically, check your downloads folder for the file. You can open it in Adobe Reader or your browser.
5. Print the ID card: From there, you can print the document. The card is formatted as an official ID, so you can print it out, cut it to wallet size if needed—and keep it as a physical record.
6. Mobile app: You can also use the COUNTRY Financial mobile app to view your ID card digitally. You can save it or show it on your phone if needed. While the mobile app is great for a quick glance, printing from the web portal is usually the easiest way to go.

Farm Bureau Insurance

Farm Bureau insurance is offered by various state Farm Bureau companies so procedures may vary. Below is a general guide. Check with your state’s Farm Bureau insurer if different.

1. Log in to your Farm Bureau insurance account: Many Farm Bureau insurance companies have an online customer portal. For example, Farm Bureau Financial Services which serves multiple states has a portal at fbfs.com and others like Tennessee Farm Bureau have their own login. Go to your Farm Bureau insurer’s website and log in to your policy account. If you haven’t enrolled online you’ll need to register using your policy number and member number or personal information. Farm Bureau often requires your Farm Bureau membership number and policy details for online access.
2. Find the ID card option: After logging in find the link for your auto policy and look for “Print Auto ID Cards.” Farm Bureau Financial Services’ My Account has a section where you can click “Print Auto ID Card” under your auto policy. Other Farm Bureaus have a “Proof of Insurance” link in their account management. Click the correct link to get your insurance ID card.
3. Select vehicle: If you have more than one vehicle you insure you’ll need to select which one you’re working with. That means selecting the vehicle you want from the list or dropdown. Then you can move forward.
4. View and print the ID card: The system will generate your insurance ID card, usually as a PDF. Once it appears, print it out. Use your browser’s print function or download the PDF and open it to print. The card will contain the necessary proof of insurance info. For example, Farm Bureau’s portal often opens the card in a PDF viewer where you just press the print icon. Print and cut the card to a convenient size.
5. If no online access: If your Farm Bureau doesn’t support online ID card retrieval, you can call your local Farm Bureau agent or the customer service line to have them send you an ID card. Many Farm Bureau insurers also allow you to obtain proof of insurance at local offices. However, an increasing number do have apps and online accounts. Check if your state’s Farm Bureau Insurance has a mobile app – some (like FBFS’s app) allow you to access your insurance cards via the app. That app would let you digitally pull up the ID card or email it for printing.

NJM Insurance Group

1. Log in to NJM’s personal policy account: Go to the NJM Manage Your Policy login and sign in with your User ID and password. (If you haven’t created an account, use the registration on NJM’s site – you’ll need an NJM policy number or account number to get started.)
2. Navigate to ID cards: Once logged in, you’ll see your NJM policy(ies). Click on your auto policy. NJM’s account management page prominently lists features, including “View and print your insurance ID card.". Find the link or button for the Auto Insurance ID Card.

5. Keep info handy: When registering for NJM’s online account, have your insurance ID card or declarations page handy for reference, as NJM notes those help during signup. Now that your printed ID card has one copy in your vehicle, (NJM does not have a separate consumer mobile app for policy service; their site is mobile-friendly. So, you’ll typically print or save the PDF. New NJM customers receive their ID cards by email or mail, which you can also print if you saved that email.)

PEMCO Insurance

1. Log in to PEMCO Online: Visit PEMCO’s online account portal via pemco.com and sign in. (Use the Sign In link on Pemco’s site. If not registered, create an account using your policy details.)

4. Print the ID card: If the card is on-screen, use your browser’s print function. If it is downloaded as a PDF, open the PDF and print it. The output will be your official PEMCO insurance card. Print on regular paper and cut it to size. Washington and Oregon (PEMCO’s main states) accept electronic proof. However, having a printed copy in the car is still good.
5. Mobile app alternative: The Go PEMCO app (Android/iOS) also has your ID cards. Log in and show your electronic ID card from the app (which is good in WA/OR). The app saves it offline. If you need to print from the app, you can email the ID card to yourself using the share function. Otherwise, the steps above via the desktop site will work for printing a paper card.

Shelter tip: Keep one copy in your car and maybe one with your records. Also, note that Shelter’s mobile app can display your ID cards if you prefer digital – with the Shelter app, customers can view their ID cards anytime. But having the printed version via My Shelter covers you if your phone battery dies.

The Acuity app lets you view your policy documents and ID cards on your phone. You could show the digital ID from the app or email it to yourself from the app to print if needed. But since you now have the PDF from step 4, printing it gives you a tangible copy to keep in your vehicle.

The General

1. Use The General’s Express ID Card service: The General makes it easy to get your ID card without logging in. Go to The General’s Express Services page on their website. Under Express Services click ID Cards. On thegeneral.com this is usually on the Contact Us page or the MyPolicy page labeled “No sign-in required – ID Cards”.

4. Retrieve and print your ID card: Click the verification link sent to you; it will open your insurance ID cards. You’ll typically get a PDF or a web page with your auto insurance card. Print the ID card from that page. The card will be exactly what you need for proof of insurance. (If you have issues with the one-time link, you can log in to The General’s MyPolicy with your account to obtain the ID, but the express route is quicker.)
5. Mobile app convenience: The General app puts everything you need at your fingertips. Once you’re logged in, you can view your ID cards—and email them to yourself if you need a printed copy.

But for a printed card, the steps above will suffice.

Elephant Insurance

1. Log in to Elephant’s online account: Go to Elephant Insurance’s account portal (account.elephant.com) and log in. If you haven’t created an account, use the Register link. You will need your Elephant policy number, last name, and maybe your ZIP code to get set up.

Your digital ID card is always with you in the app (and accessible offline). If you need a paper copy, you can either print it from the app or use the emailed documents Root sends you. That way you’ll have what you need when you need it.

Clearcover

1. Use the Clearcover app for ID cards: To manage your ID card with Clearcover, download the Clearcover app and log in-you’ll usually use your email and a verification code sent to you via that magic link email Clearcover likes to use.
2. Access your ID card digitally: Once you’re in, your insurance ID card is right there on the home screen of the app. You can see the full details by tapping on it. That ID card is always up-to-date-and you can access it 24/7, even without an internet connection.
3. Use the Options to share/print: You can find your ID card in the app at any time. Clearcover puts a quick view of it front and center on the main dashboard for convenience. If you need to, you can share or save that ID card as a PDF. You can do that by tapping the “Options” button underneath it. That’s where you’ll also find the option to print copies of any policy documents—including your ID card—if you ever need to. You can do that by tapping Options under the ID card in the app.
4. Print the ID card: Once you have the ID card file from the app (for example, emailed to yourself as a PDF or image), open it on a computer and print it. Now you have a hard copy.

5. Remember Clearcover’s digital-first nature: Clearcover does not routinely send paper ID cards by mail. All Clearcover ID cards are 100% digital, so using the app is essential. The good news is it’s very quick—open the app, show the card, or print via share.

Lemonade

1. Check your email or Lemonade app: You should be able to find your policy documents—and that digital insurance card—in your email inbox. Lemonade usually emails them to you right away before your policy start date. Look for a message from them with PDFs attached. Your digital insurance card should be in that email ready to download and print.
2. Log in via the website or app: If you cannot find that email, you can log in to the Lemonade app or at lemonade.com. Once you are logged in, go to to your insurance policy documents. Your insurance card, or proof of insurance is usually available online or on the app.
3. Download the ID card: You can save the insurance card PDF or image to your computer. If you’re on the app, use the share or download feature to get it onto your phone. That might mean emailing it to yourself from the app. On the website, if a PDF opens, just download it.
4. Print the card: You’ll want to make sure the PDF or image includes your policy number, vehicle details and coverage dates. You can print either just the part that looks like an ID card—or the whole Declarations page. That’s accepted as proof of insurance too.
5. Lemonade app: The Lemonade app will always have your up-to-date insurance information. You can open it and show your digital ID card anytime—that’s handy if you don’t have the paper. If you lose your printed copy, just re-open the app or site and print a new one. Lemonade issues those digital cards by default, so you can print them rather than wait for them to arrive in the mail.

Gainsco (GAINSCO Auto Insurance)

1. Contact GAINSCO or use their app: If you need to access your policy or ID card information with GAINSCO, you have a couple of options. Their customer portal is pretty basic, so you’re better off using their mobile app (available for Android-and possibly iOS devices) or reaching out to your agent directly for help. That app lets you log in and view your policy information on your device. Download it (if it’s available for your device) and you’ll be able to access everything you need.
2. Access ID card: To find your ID card information, head to your policy details or electronic ID card in the app. If the app provides an image of your ID card, that’s your best way to get a copy. GAINSCO’s website doesn’t make it easy for customers to download their ID cards. The “My Account” section is really geared towards payments. So, either use the app or give them a call.
3. Request an ID card if needed: If you cannot get your ID card through the app, you can always reach out to GAINSCO’s customer service at 866-424-6726). Your agent can also help you out. Just ask them to send you a copy of your insurance ID card. They can usually email or fax it to you right away.
4. Print the card from email: If GAINSCO does email you the ID card (likely as a PDF), you can print it out. That will serve as your physical proof of insurance. Many GAINSCO policies are sold through agents, who can also print out ID cards for you if you stop by their office.
5. Keep digital proof on your phone: It’s a good idea to keep a digital copy of your ID card, too—even if you do get a physical one. The GAINSCO app or a photo of the card can usually suffice as proof in most situations. GAINSCO, which focuses on minimum-limits auto insurance, often includes an ID card with your policy packet when you first sign up. If you lose yours, just give them a call—and they’ll send one right out.

Safeway Insurance

1. Use Safeway’s ID Card retrieval: Safeway Insurance offers a quick online way to get a copy of your ID card. Go to the Safeway Insurance website. On the homepage or under the Auto Insurance section, look for “MySafeway I.D. Card.” There will be text like: “Do you need to print, or have you lost your Safeway Insurance ID card? Click here to retrieve your ID Card.” Click that link that says “retrieve your ID Card.”
2. Enter policy information: The MySafeway ID Card retrieval will ask for details to find your policy. Typically, you’ll need to enter your Policy Number and perhaps your last name, birth date, or some combination of identifying info (Safeway’s site might integrate this with their MySafeway portal). Fill in the required fields on the form.
3. Retrieve ID card: After you submit your information, the system should locate your policy and allow you to view/print your auto insurance ID card immediately. It may open the card in a new window or prompt a file download.
4. Print the ID card: Print the Safeway insurance card that appears. Safeway’s online tool will provide the official card with all the necessary details. The website explicitly provides an option to “Print Your I.D. Card” right after retrieving it. Click that and print the page. Now you have your Safeway proof of insurance ready.
5. MySafeway account (optional): Safeway Insurance also has a general customer portal (MySafeway) for payments and policy info. If you created a profile, you can log in and likely access policy documents and ID cards there, too. You can also view your ID cards digitally through their mobile app (MySafeway on iOS/Android). But because Safeway gives you the option to print out your ID cards without needing to log in, using the website is actually pretty straightforward.

Acceptance Insurance (First Acceptance)

1. Log in to Acceptance’s MyAccount: To log in to your Acceptance Insurance account, head to myaccount.firstacceptance.com. You can register an account if you haven’t already-set one up using your policy number, name and other personal details. That way you can manage your account online—and actually get things done.
2. Navigate to your policy details: Once you’re logged in, navigate to your auto insurance policy details. In your policy view, look for that document labeled “Insurance ID Card” or “Proof of Insurance.” Some customers have reported that the online portal mainly allows payments and basic info-so you might need to take the next step if you don’t see documents online.
3. Download ID card: If you see a PDF of your ID card or a “print ID card” button in your policy view, you can click it. That will give you your insurance card to print. Save or open the PDF and go from there.
4. Contact Acceptance: If you can’t get your ID card through the online portal, Acceptance Insurance can help. Their agents or email can send you a copy of your insurance card. You can reach out to their customer service at 877-405-7102 or visit your local Acceptance office. They can print one out for you on the spot. Many policyholders purchase in-store, so don’t hesitate to ask for that help-it’s part of their customer service.
5. Mobile app: If you use the app, log in and see if your auto ID card is listed. You could then screenshot or email it from your phone to print. With Acceptance, the best way to get your ID card is to call or use the app/portal. Once you have it, future renewals usually include updated cards by mail or email that you can print.

CURE (Citizens United Reciprocal Exchange)

1. Log in to CURE’s My Account: Visit CURE’s My Account login page at cure.com, and click on the My Account link for NJ, PA, and MI drivers. Log in with your user ID and password. If you haven’t created an account, use the sign-up option. You will need your CURE policy number and other personal info to register.
2. Find the “Get ID Card” option: Once logged in, your account dashboard will have quick actions. Look for a button or link labeled “Get ID Card” or “Print ID Cards.” Click that.
3. View the ID card: After clicking, the system will display your insurance ID card (for each insured vehicle). It might open as a PDF in a new tab. If prompted to select a vehicle or policy term, do so, then proceed to view the card.
4. Print the ID card: Use the on-screen print function or download the ID card PDF and print it from your PDF viewer. Print out your CURE auto insurance card on paper. It will include your policy number, vehicle information, and coverage dates—exactly what’s needed for proof of insurance.
5. Additional notes: CURE also has a section on their website to download other forms but it sends you to the My Account portal for ID cards. If you have issues online you can call CURE customer service and they will mail or email you a card. But most CURE customers find the online system easy and get immediate results. Save the PDF too so you have a digital copy. Keep the printed CURE card in your car as required by law.

An insurance ID card is usually only available with an active policy. To stay safe, use your insurer’s official website or app to get your ID card. Having your policy number handy will speed up the process. Once you print your insurance card, store it in your vehicle’s glove compartment. Consider downloading your insurer’s mobile app if they offer one—that way you’ll have a convenient digital proof of insurance if you forget your printed copy. And that’s just good sense. Safe driving!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I download my car insurance policy documents?

To get your car insurance policy documents, log into your insurance company’s customer portal on their website or mobile app. Once logged in, go to the “Policies”, “Documents” or “My Coverage” section. Here, look for a download button, link or PDF icon next to your active policy. If you can’t find it, use the site’s search function or contact customer support for help.

Why should I keep a copy of my policy documents on my phone?

Having your policy on your phone gives you instant access to proof of insurance in critical situations like traffic stops by the police, filing insurance claims immediately after an accident or handling vehicle registration requirements. Digital documents reduce the risk of losing or damaging important papers and eliminates the hassle of carrying physical documents everywhere you go.

What format are policy documents usually in?

Insurance companies provide policy documents in PDF format because it preserves the original layout, formatting and graphics. PDFs are compatible across multiple devices and operating systems and can be viewed, shared and printed without any formatting issues or special software beyond a standard PDF viewer.

How often should I download a new copy of my policy?

Download and save a new copy of your policy when you renew your coverage, make changes to your policy like changing coverage limits or adding/removing drivers or when you receive any endorsements or updates from your insurer. Updating your digital copies regularly ensures you always have the latest terms, conditions and proof of valid coverage.

Is electronic proof of insurance accepted during a traffic stop?

Yes, electronic proof of insurance on your smartphone or mobile device is accepted in most places. However, laws and regulations vary by location. Check your local laws or regulations. Even if digital proof is accepted, keep a printed copy in your glove box or vehicle compartment as a backup in case your digital device is unavailable or not working.

Can multiple drivers on the same policy download their own copies?

Yes, all named insured drivers on the policy can log into the insurer’s customer portal or mobile app using their own credentials. Each driver can download and save their own copy of the policy documents.
