FAQ: Your Policy Documents

When will I get my auto insurance policy documents?

One of the great things about buying your auto insurance policy online is just how fast the process is. At Esurance, when we say you can print your insurance cards online instantly, we mean it. And your other auto insurance policy documents won’t take much longer!

Unlike many insurance companies that make you wait up to 30 days to receive your insurance documents, with Esurance you’ll be able to print your temporary ID card right away. Then, 24 to 48 hours after you buy your auto insurance policy, Esurance will send you an email letting you know that your permanent auto insurance policy and related insurance documents are available in your online account.

Your temporary ID card will expire after 48 hours, so be sure to print your permanent ID card once it’s ready and keep it in your car at all times. When you receive your other auto insurance policy documents you can choose whether to print hard copies or keep them in your online account for easy access anytime.

Unlike other insurance companies that have to send your paperwork through the mail, your Esurance documents are accessible online 24/7. That means you can print new insurance cards and make changes to your policy anytime.

Why wait days or weeks for your auto insurance policy to take effect? Online means faster and more convenient. Get a quote from Esurance today. It’s free and takes only minutes.
