If you were stopped and only had an expired auto insurance card then you may be cited for driving without insurance. If that is the case but you had insurance coverage in effect then in most jurisdictions you can obtain a statement or letter from your insurance provider that states this and take it to court.
Many times then your citation for being uninsured will be dismissed if you can prove that you have coverage in place but merely did not have the most current insurance card in your possession at the time of your stop by law enforcement officers. Some states charge a $5 fee for processing.
If you have been ticketed for driving without insurance then contact the court listed on the citation to see what proof of insurance you may be able to show to the court or court officers to get the ticket dismissed. You may want to see if there will be any fines or court costs that you will still have to pay. Once you are aware of what is needed then contact your insurance agent to get the correct documents to take into court.
