or non-renew an insurance policy in Indiana. Insurance companies may cancel your policy within the first 60 days of
a new policy. After your policy is in effect 60 days, the company cannot cancel except for certain reasons, such as
your failure to pay the premium or losing your license to drive. At the end of the policy period, the company may
refuse to renew your policy, but they must give you 20 days advance notice.
An SR-21 or a Certificate of Compliance is a form that must be

certifies your financial responsibility. The most common proof of financial responsibility is your automobile

You can apply for the Indiana Car Insurance Plan
through any insurance agent in Indiana. Each insurance company licensed in Indiana must participate in this
program taking its’ share of the drivers who have difficulty buying insurance.
