Progressive provides a printable auto insurance card that serves as proof of coverage when you're stopped by police, involved in an accident, or need to register your vehicle; you can generate it through your online account, the mobile app, or by requesting a mailed copy, then print it on standard 8.5×11 paper and keep it in your glove compartment.

Where to Find the Print Card in Your Account
Log in to Progressive.com or open the mobile app, navigate to the "Documents" or "Proof of Insurance" section, and select "Print Card." The interface shows a PDF preview that includes policy number, vehicle details, coverage limits, and effective dates.
Printing Tips for a Clear Card
Use plain white letter‑size paper and set your printer to "fit to page" to avoid cropping. Ensure the QR code and barcode remain sharp; blurry codes may not scan. If you print multiple copies, label each with the vehicle's VIN to avoid confusion when you have several cars on one policy.
Key Information to Verify on the Card
Check that the following items match your policy documents:
- Policyholder name and address
- Vehicle identification number (VIN)
- Coverage limits (bodily injury, property damage, comprehensive, collision)
- Effective and expiration dates
- Progressive's contact phone number for claims
If any detail is incorrect, update it in your online account or call customer service before printing a new card.
When and Where to Use the Print Card
The printed card is accepted by law‑enforcement officers, DMV clerks, and rental agencies as proof of insurance. Keep one copy in each vehicle's glove compartment and a spare in your wallet for quick reference during roadside stops.
Replacing a Lost or Damaged Card
If the card is misplaced, you can reprint it instantly from the same "Proof of Insurance" page. For a permanent replacement, request a mailed card through the "Contact Us" portal; the mailed version includes a raised emboss for added durability.
