What documents are needed to get auto insurance?

1. Driver's license

This is the most important document you need to get auto insurance. It shows that you are legally allowed to drive a car.

2. Vehicle registration

This document shows that you are the legal owner of the car you are insuring.

3. Proof of insurance

If you are currently insured, you will need to provide proof of insurance from your current provider. This can be a copy of your insurance policy or a declaration page.

4. VIN number

The VIN number is a unique 17-digit number that identifies your car. You can find the VIN number on your vehicle's registration or title.

5. Your driving history

Your driving history shows any accidents, violations, or convictions you have had in the past. You can get a copy of your driving history from the DMV.

6. Your credit score

Some insurance companies use your credit score as a factor in determining your premium. You can get a free copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

7. Additional documents

Depending on the insurance company, you may also need to provide additional documents, such as:

* A copy of your lease agreement if you are leasing your car

* A copy of your mortgage or rental agreement if you are using your car for business purposes

* A completed insurance application

It is important to have all of the necessary documents with you when you apply for auto insurance. Having all of the required documentation will help expedite the insurance process.
