re: Fighting LA OMV: Loss of liability insurance (Update)

LA OMV picked up that I dropped insurance with State Farm but I guess didn't get notification that I was picked up prior to that by Safeco. After all this, got vehicle registration swapped to new state

I would push no lapse in coverage and if insurance swap first wouldn’t you have had to input your Louisiana plates? Maybe insurance can help. If they sent something maybe a copy of that or resend to Louisiana (not just proof of current coverage but proof it was sent to them with insurance switch over showing no lapse in coverage). I don’t know if it met Louisiana’s minimum, but You had coverage.

They sent me something like 13 years after I traded in car on something else when I moved out of Louisiana. Dealer was supposed to process along with registration of new car, but I guess it didn’t take. Voter registration change didn’t take as well, and I found later I was still registered to vote in Louisiana 2 presidential election cycles while also registered in new state.

I got as much documentation on switch and move out of state as I could 13 years later including old plate number as dealer went out of business 5 or 6 years prior & I could not find ownership transfer with the trade in & had to input old address & name even though that didn’t exist. I used the website a couple of people have posted. I think I tried calling, but I was told to use website first. It eventually worked out, but it may have been more due to being 13 years after the fact.
