What documents do I need to legally drive?

To legally drive a vehicle, you typically need the following three essential documents:

Documents You Need to Legally Drive

1. Valid Driver’s License

  • Proves you’re authorized to operate a motor vehicle.
  • Must be appropriate for the type of vehicle (e.g., standard, commercial).
  • Must be current and not suspended or expired.

2. Vehicle Registration

  • Shows that your vehicle is legally registered with your state’s DMV or transport authority.
  • Usually kept in the glove box.
  • Must be current (renew annually or biannually in most states).

3. Proof of Insurance

  • Verifies that you have the minimum required auto insurance (liability at a minimum).
  • Can be a physical card, digital copy, or app-based proof depending on your state.
  • Must be presented if pulled over or involved in an accident.
