Illinois’ Electronic Vehicle Insurance Verification Program aims to crack down on uninsured drivers

Springfield, Illinois (WMBD) —Vehicle owners who fail to prove insurance under the Illinois electronic verification program will be charged a $ 100 reinstatement fee.

Secretary of State Jake Carter said the state’s mandatory electronic insurance verification program will come into effect from 1 July. Auto insurance companies and the Secretary of State are working together to verify auto insurance electronically.

In most cases, electronic verification of car insurance is processed automatically, so the vehicle owner does not need to do anything.

“My office has led efforts to establish and implement an online car insurance verification system that can help reduce the number of Illinois drivers using innovation to drive uninsured,” White said. Mr. says. “The message is simple. If you don’t have car insurance, get insurance now. That’s the law.”

With the Illinois Insurance Verification System (ILIVS), vehicle insurance is electronically verified by vehicle owners at random intervals at least twice a year to comply with the state’s automobile liability insurance law.

If the electronic verification fails, a written request will be sent to the vehicle owner, and if the owner does not show proof of insurance, the Secretary of State will suspend the registration of the vehicle. Vehicle owners must contact the insurance company or notify the insurance agent that they have received the Secretary of State’s letter and its specific reference number.

Vehicle owners’ car insurance is checked electronically by the insurance agent through www.ILIVS.com with the Secretary of State.

Vehicle owners who receive the letter are advised to contact the insurance company or agency to provide the required electronic health insurance card rather than accessing driver service.

License plates for vehicles without car insurance will be suspended unless you have insurance.
