If You Have the Three Digit Insurance Company Code
If you have been in a crash or accident with a vehicle registered in New York State, the quickest and easiest way to get insurance information is to search the insurance company code list on the Department of Financial Services website. The search is free and provides immediate results so you can contact the insurance company to resolve your insurance matter. The 3-digit insurance company code can be found on your accident report. See a sample accident report with the location of the insurance code identified.
Uninsured Vehicles
If you contacted the insurance company and the insurance company states that the vehicle was not insured, you must get a denial of insurance letter from the insurance company. Denial of insurance letters must be from the insurance company on their letterhead specifically denying coverage on the date of the accident.
DMV can revoke the driver license of the driver of the vehicle and can also take action against the registrant of the vehicle, if appropriate.
When you receive a denial of insurance letter from the insurance company, send the following items to the Insurance Services Bureau:
- A copy of the denial of insurance letter
- A copy of the Police Accident Report (form MV-104A or MV-104AN) OR a Report of Motor Vehicle Accident (PDF) (MV-104) if a police report is not available
- A cover letter to request that DMV issue a revocation. (recommended)
Once these items are received, DMV will review the documentation and take appropriate action.
