Motorists may now check insurance status online

Georgia motorists may now access the Department of Motor Vehicle Safety’s Web site, www.dmvs.ga.gov, to verify whether they are registered in the State’s mandatory automobile insurance database which is proof of insurance effective Jan. 1.

After clicking on “What’s New,” “Insurance” and “Insurance Status Inquiry,” drivers simply provide the vehicle identification number (VIN) and title number. After a search of the database, the vehicle’s insurance status will be provided.

The DMVS recommends that anyone that used an insurance card to purchase or renew their vehicle registration between June and Dec. 31, 2003 verify that their insurance company has transmitted their information to be added to the database.

Insurance cards are still important should you travel out of state or be involved in an accident or take an on-the-road test for a driver’s license. Keep insurance cards in vehicles at all times.
