Documents that you should always have in your vehicle when driving

Many people forget that driving is a privilege. It is not a right. You don’t have the right to drive a vehicle. You have to earn that right by learning to drive safely and then passing a test. Only then can you legally drive in the state of Washington and any other state. In Lynnwood, WA, the experienced agents at Sound Choice Insurance Agency Inc are here to make sure you understand the other legal requirements for driving in Washington. 

Your driver’s license

Most people carry their driver’s license with them at all times. It is a required form of identification for many things. It is also required if, for any reason, you are pulled over by the local or state police. It is a vital document and should be treated with care, and you should always know where it is. It is almost as important as your social security number, so never loan it out to friends or family and keep it with you when driving. 

Vehicle registration

When you own a vehicle, you need to have it registered with the state where you live. Usually, if you buy a new car, the dealership will take care of all the paperwork and give you the paperwork. After that, you will need to pay your registration to the state, most likely every two years. In Washington, the vehicle registration office is not the same place where you get your driver’s license. You can do many things online. 

Insurance card

When you have auto insurance, the company will provide you with an auto insurance card that you should keep in your vehicle. You may get it in the mail, or you can print it off online. Each of your vehicles has its own card.
