What’s in it

20B at the time the vehicle is registered and each time the registration is renewed. At the time of application for registration of a motor vehicle, the owner is required to provide a copy of the proof of financial liability coverage card issued for the motor vehicle, a description of the coverage as noted on the card, or other documentation acceptable to the department of transportation (DOT). The DOT or county treasurer cannot register a motor vehicle or renew a registration in the absence of satisfactory proof that financial liability coverage is in effect for the vehicle.
