You’re driving to work one day and you notice that little blue sticker on your windshield just expired! It’s time to get your registration–but can an expired registration affect your insurance?

The Short Answer

The short answer is, no your expired registration will not have an effect on your current insurance.

As long as you are making your insurance payments on time, your insurance will continue to cover you and your vehicle even if your vehicle’s registration expires.

You do, however, need proof of insurance to get your vehicle registered. So be sure to check when your insurance expires before you renew your vehicle’s registration.

What Can an Expired Registration Affect?

An expired registration may not affect your insurance, but it can affect you in other ways.

A law enforcement officer can give you a ticket for operating a vehicle with an expired registration sticker. This ticket may affect your insurance when it comes time to renew, as insurance agencies look to your driving record to come up with your premium.
