No License? No Problem. Texas Insurance Guide

At A-LA, we believe coverage should be accessible to all. Discover how you can get legal car insurance in Texas without a traditional license.

Can You Insure a Car Without a Driver's License?

One of the most common questions we receive is whether it's legal or possible to buy auto insurance without having a U.S. driver's license. The short answer is YES. While many large national carriers may turn you away, A-LA Auto Insurance specializes in helping people with alternative IDs get the protection they need.

Who this is for

  • International Travelers
  • Non-citizens with Matrícula
  • People with suspended licenses
  • Vehicle owners who don't drive

The Legal Side

Texas law requires all registered vehicles to have liability insurance. The state doesn't require the policyholder to be a licensed driver, as long as the vehicle is protected and any drivers listed are authorized.

Accepted Alternative IDs

Don't have a Texas DL? We often accept the following forms of identification to secure your policy:

Matrícula Consular

Commonly used by citizens of Mexico, Guatemala, and South American countries.

International Passport

Valid passports from your country of origin.

Foreign Driver's License

Licenses issued by other countries are frequently acceptable.

Student Visas/IDs

For international students studying in the DFW area.
