Insurance Consumer Information

We have listed below several valuable sources of information to help educate you in obtaining auto insurance. Included are links to organizations with helpful guides on topics such as purchasing auto insurance, filing claims and more.

  • Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Insurance Verification Program

    As part of its role of administering motor vehicle laws, DMV monitors liability insurance for vehicles registered in the Commonwealth. To protect the interests of all Virginia motorists, DMV administers an Insurance Verification Program which identifies vehicle owners who are not in compliance with insurance requirements. In a partnership with the insurance industry, DMV participates in the Electronic Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance Reporting process. Under this process, all insurance companies authorized or licensed to do business in Virginia furnish liability insurance information to DMV when they issue and cancel liability insurance for vehicles registered in Virginia.

    If you have questions regarding insurance compliance with DMV, please contact us.

  • Virginia State Corporation Commission

    The State Corporation Commission (SCC) regulates Virginia’s businesses and economic concerns balancing the interests of citizens, businesses, stockholders and consumers. The SCC works to assure that Virginians receive quality service from regulated public service businesses at reasonable prices. The SCC also assists consumers who have valid disputes with regulated companies. The SCC’s Bureau of Insurance is involved in consumer protection through administration of state laws regarding insurance.
