How Do I Handle A Ticket For No Proof Of Insurance?

If you were cited for not having proof of liability insurance, you are required to appear in court on that charge UNLESS:

• you actually did have insurance coverage on the vehicle you were driving as of the date and time of the traffic stop, and
• you provide proof of that insurance coverage to the court clerk within ten (10) calendar days of receiving the citation.

The proof must be in the form of a card, issued by your insurance company, that includes the name of the insured, the policy number, the year & make of the vehicle, the vehicle’s identification number (or VIN), and the effective and expiration dates of the policy. Cards in electronic format (e.g. saved on a cell phone or as part of an app) are acceptable.

You can bring your proof of insurance to the court office in person, fax a copy to (913) 727-5428, or e-mail it. If you are faxing or e-mailing it, be sure to include the name of the person who was cited for this violation and the citation number. It is your responsibility to contact the court clerk after submitting your proof of insurance to see if the violation was dismissed or if you need to provide additional information.

If you are cited for failure to provide proof of insurance, that citation gets reported to the Kansas Department of Revenue regardless of how the matter is resolved in Municipal Court. You may receive correspondence from KDOR requiring information about your insurance coverage, and you need to comply with that request EVEN IF YOU ALREADY PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION TO THE MUNICIPAL COURT. Do not ignore any notices you receive from the State of Kansas about this matter because doing so can result in the state suspending/revoking your driving privileges.
