How Do I Show Proof of Insurance?
If you are charged with No Proof of Insurance or No Insurance and the vehicle you were driving was insured on the date of the offense, you may be able to have this charge dismissed by providing valid proof of insurance coverage to the MN Court Payment Center (CPC) no later than 30 days from when the citation is filed with the courts. Be sure to include your case or citation number with your proof, which can take up to two (2) business days to process after it has been received. If dismissed, no fine will be due for that charge.
Valid proof must be one (1) of the following:
Valid proof must be one (1) of the following:
- Copy of the insurance coverage card for the vehicle; OR
- Letter from the insurance agent; OR
- Copy of the insurance policy.
The court’s handling of no insurance/no proof of insurance charges is separate from the Department of Public Safety (DPS)/Department of Vehicle Service (DVS) processes. DPS/DVS has their own requirements, fees, etc. To confirm the status of your license, check with DPS/DVS.
NOTE: If there are other offenses listed on your citation, do not pay until the insurance charge has been dismissed. If you pay any of the amount owed on the citation before your proof of insurance can be reviewed by the court and the charge has been dismissed, you will be convicted of this charge. Payment of a fine, including partial payment, is pleading guilty to the offenses charged and a voluntary waiver of the rights listed on the citation. This will result in a conviction of all charges on the case, including the insurance charge. The conviction on the insurance charge will cause your driver’s license to be revoked by DPS/DVS.
