Getting Insurance as an Immigrant
Documented immigrants will likely find that getting car insurance is straightforward, while undocumented immigrants may not have an easy path.
The issue is that most insurance providers require a driver’s license to underright a policy. In most states, it’s not easy or possible to get a driver’s license as an undocumented immigrant.
Many drivers choose to obtain a driver’s license in a state with a more lenient licensing policy. Once an undocumented immigrant has a license, getting insurance is possible without issue.
