How Can I Find Out If Someone Has Auto Insurance? 
It used to be easy but with privacy protection laws in-force , it now takes some work . Without knowing the reason why you want the information , bear in mind that you will need to demonstrate a legal need for it . You can check with the local police department but you will most probably have to file a police report and provide a solid and legal reason for needing to know about another 's insurance situation . You might also check with your State motor vehicle administration but again , your request will not be honored unless you can provide a reason for your request that is in compliance with the laws .
