A: Assuming that you are writing because you were cited for no insurance, you can show that you had coverage to the Court by providing a written certification from your insurance agent that your policy was in effect when you got the ticket. Thank you for using Justia's Ask a Lawyer, but don't rely on what you are told here, consult a local attorney who will obtain all the facts from you and review your documents.

A: That might be the issue date, or effective date. As a general matter, insurance ID cards generally carry two dates. Check the other date, which is the expiration date. That should enable you to verify that the date ranges on the card show that you are currently covered. This is a general assessment. If you contact your insurance carrier, they should be able to advise you more definitively. Good luck
