It is a common misconception that consumers have that car insurance providers will not offer coverage to those who are unlicensed and individuals will keep their vehicles uninsured although in many cases it is simply untrue; there are many companies out their that are willing to offer policies to those who may not be licensed under various circumstances.

Consumers should know that there are a wide range of insurers available and each adhere to their own guidelines and although there may be some carriers that will may provide coverage to certain motorists, there are also those that will.

While it may seem unnecessary to purchase a policy while unlicensed, the are many reasons why coverage may be needed. A common reason is for individuals who may be coming from other countries, whether visiting or making the transition to the country, these motorists may need to operate a vehicle and in most states will need to be insured to do so legally.

In fact, there are several carriers who specialize in auto insurance without drivers license or operators with foreign licenses. Although, one should keep in mind that there may be state laws which require motorists to obtain their domestic licensing within a certain period of time if planning to reside in the state and insurers may have a similar time frame in order to continue coverage; both of which should be checked with local authorities and their carrier to avoid legal issues or cancellation of a policy.
