If you’re a Pennsylvania driver, you are obligated by law to purchase an auto insurance policy. Many drivers find it helpful to work with an experienced insurance agent when they are choosing an auto insurance policy. If you live in or around the Pittsburgh, PA area, our team at the Daniel Carinci Agency LLC will take the time to understand your insurance needs. We’ve been working with Pennsylvania drivers like you since 2011.
What to Do When You Change Auto Insurance Companies
Pennsylvania drivers need to understand their responsibilities when changing insurance companies. According to the Pennsylvania Consumer Services website, insurance companies are required to notify PennDOT when clients cancel an insurance policy for any reason. However, your new insurance company is not required to notify PennDOT about the new policy. If this occurs, you may get a letter from PennDOT that will demand proof of your new auto insurance.
In order to protect yourself, you should email documentation of your updated insurance information to Pennsylvania’s Financial Responsibilities Department. Your insurance agency or local PennDOT office can help you find the contact information. If you do receive a letter requesting proof, you can submit the proof of your new policy by return mail. If PennDOT doesn’t receive the required proof, they will issue a suspension of your car’s registration.
