The DC Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has implemented the DC Insurance Verification System (DCIVS) in order to verify automobile insurance for vehicles registered in DC and manage DC’s insurance program.

All vehicle insurance companies that do business in DC are required to report to DC DMV, within 30 calendar days, all instances of terminated, cancelled, or expired motor vehicle insurance for vehicles registered in DC.

Vehicle insurance companies and agents, including those using the Program for Insurance Electronic Reporting (PIER), must use DCIVS when inquiring and responding to vehicle insurance related items.
