Here are three ways Geico policyholders can get proof of auto insurance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nearly every state requires drivers to have car insurance<\/a>, though some states allow drivers to provide proof of financial responsibility instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Geico<\/a> makes getting a copy of your insurance information easy. Here\u2019s what you need to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you lost the paper card you were mailed or want another copy, log into your Geico My Account page and select \u201cAuto Policy.\u201d\u00a0From there, you can view or print policy documents. You can also ask Geico to mail you another copy of your card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For time sensitive or complex issues related to your policy, call the insurer at 800-861-8380.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you need proof of insurance<\/a> immediately and can\u2019t print it off, download the Geico mobile app to access your digital ID card. Note that you\u2019ll need your username or policy number to log in to Geico\u2019s online account. If you don\u2019t have this information, you may need to contact customer support, which can help you access your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you recently bought a policy online, Geico will email you temporary insurance cards you can download. Just find the confirmation email or look for the temporary cards under your My Account Page. Most temporary cards are only valid for about a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Geico will also usually mail you an insurance declaration page<\/a>, insurance identification card\u00a0and possibly a binder letter. This describes the types of coverage you chose and limits, your deductibles<\/a>, and more. All of the insurance paperwork shows when the policy is effective, your policy number and the contact information for Geico. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Any of these documents can serve as proof of insurance, but specific situations call for certain types of proof. It’s wise to keep a physical copy of your insurance ID in your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main document you should carry when driving is your ID card because law enforcement usually asks for it. Other documents are only presented at registration or upon request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carry this in your vehicle as proof of insurance so it can be shown when required during traffic stops or accidents<\/a>. You may also use this in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Show the proof of coverage which details the vehicle, policy effective and expiration dates and coverage limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Obtain an SR-22<\/a> or FR-44 form if required for certain driving violations. This Certificate of Financial Responsibility verifies auto insurance liability coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Provide a Verification of Coverage (MD FR-19) form when requested by a letter or citation from the Maryland<\/a> Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). This form serves as proof of insurance in Maryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can get the first three documents from Geico\u2019s online service center or by calling customer service at 800-861-8380. However, if you are a Geico policyholder and you need an SR-22 or FR-44, you need to call 877-206-0215.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to obtain proof of insurance from Geico<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
