Who needs the filing
What a DC DMV letter is asking
Uninsured stop or crash
No liability policy on the car when you were stopped or hit.
License still down
Reinstatement often waits until the certificate is on file.
The reason on the letter
A DUI premium is not a clean-record premium.
The car is already gone
A non-owner policy can still carry the filing on your license.
