Request Temporary ID Card - New car purchase

Requesting a temporary ID card from Erie Insurance is simple and can usually be completed in just a few steps:

1. Contact Your Erie Insurance Agent: Reach out to your Erie Insurance Agent and inform them about your new car purchase. Be prepared to give them pertinent information about your new vehicle, such as the make, model, year, VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), and any lease or loan details, if applicable.
2. Review Your Policy: Your agent will help update your car insurance policy to include your new vehicle, confirming the coverage levels required or desired for your new car.
3. Request A Temporary ID Card: Once your insurance policy is updated, request your agent to provide a temporary ID card. This card serves as proof of insurance for your new vehicle, which you could need to present in various scenarios like during a traffic stop or at a vehicle registration office.
4. Receive Your Temporary ID Card: Erie Insurance usually issues temporary ID cards via email. Make sure your agent has your accurate email address on file for this. In some cases, if you prefer or the situation requires, you may be able to pick it up in person or receive it in the mail.

Remember to keep your temporary ID card with you whenever you're driving until you receive your new permanent cards in the mail.
