Automobile Liability Certificates

Proof of insurance in the form of a liability certificate must be carried in each vehicle.

To secure a liability certificate for a newly-acquired vehicle, immediately notify OSBIE upon taking possession of the vehicle. Fax or email a copy of an Automobile Change Form to OSBIE the day a vehicle is transferred. OSBIE can then issue a liability certificate with the correct VIN (serial number) effective the date of possession. A copy will be faxed to the school board and the original will be mailed.

Local police authorities have confirmed that a vehicle may be operated with a facsimile (FAX) copy of the liability certificate until the original arrives. In the event a newly-acquired vehicle is involved in an accident before the original certificate arrives, it is likely the Board will be required to produce the original within 72 hours. If this occurs, contact OSBIE immediately, and a certificate will be sent via courier.
