Financial Responsibility And Proof of Auto Insurance
Upon registering your vehicle you’ll be asked to sign a statement confirming your auto is insured. Idaho requires you to carry proof of insurance whenever driving your automobile. To comply with this you must have:
* An insurance identification card provided by your carrier.
* Proof of an indemnity bond provided either by your broker or the DMV.
Idaho first time registration:
There are several reasons you may need to register your vehicle for a first time, including:
* Established Idaho residency
* Purchased a used car from a private party
* Transferred ownership to you via gift, family or inheritance
Upon buying a auto within state lines, you have 30 days to register it. There is a $20 late fee if this time period is exceeded. If you are transferring a vehicle from another state, the 30-day clock begins the day you bring it into Idaho.
If you just became a resident of Idaho, you have 90 days to register with Idaho’s Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
NOTE: Before registering, you must first title your vehicle.
