To buy or manage GEICO auto insurance, you’ll need certain documents depending on whether you’re starting a new policy, updating, or proving coverage.
Driver’s License: For all drivers you want covered.
Vehicle Information: Year, make, model, VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
Vehicle Registration: Proof that the car is legally registered.
Driving History: Details of accidents, tickets, or prior claims.
Current Insurance Information (if switching): Your existing policy documents.
Insurance ID Card: GEICO provides physical and digital ID cards.
Digital ID Cards: Accepted in most states via the GEICO Mobile app (not valid in MA and NH).
SR-22 or FR-44 Forms: Required in certain states if you need proof of financial responsibility (e.g., after serious driving violations). These must be requested directly from GEICO.
Buying a car: Dealers often require proof of insurance before you drive off the lot.
Renewing registration: States may ask for insurance proof.
Traffic stops or accidents: You must show your insurance ID card.
In short: To get GEICO insurance, you’ll need your driver’s license, vehicle details, registration, and driving history. Once insured, GEICO provides ID cards (digital or physical), and in special cases, SR-22/FR-44 forms.
