You’ll need to show your paper or digital card in these situations:

- To a police officer, if you’re stopped for any reason
- If you’re in an accident, you and the other driver will need to present your cards to the officer on the scene
- At the dealership, you’ll need proof of insurance before driving the car you’re buying off the lot
