Car Registration in Queensland?

Can I purchase auto insurance without car registration?

• Hello guys and gals, I need your helps here, I live in California and I currently own two cars (A and B), car A which I am planning to sell has not been driven in a year (2011-2012), also I did not buy the car insurance for car A since I don't drive it anymore, in this year (2012) after I paid for the car registration renewal fee for car A, I received a letter from California DMW, stated that they were unable to send me a registration card unless I can provide them with evidences of auto insurance for car A, and unfortunately, I lost all the previous registration cards of car A during moves, so in this case, will I be able to purchase auto insurance for car A without showing registration card to the insurance agent but only with Drive's License, VIN number, etc.? Or alternatively, can I use the insurance of car B to complete registration renewal for car A? Thank you in advance.

• Answer:

  The only thing you need to insure the car is this: Car A, make/model/year plus VIN #. The insurance company will not ask for proof of registration, only information on the car. Once you get an insurance ID card, then you go to the DMV and give them the name of the company and policy number. I suggest you add this car to the insurance company of car B, since most likely will get a discount for multi cars on your policy. If the car is paid up and no loan, then just add liability only. When you sell the car, then you call the insurance company to take off the policy and also notify the DMV that you sold it. good luck
