Do you have to have a drivers license when you get insurance on a new car?

New insurance
You can buy and insure a car without a lisence. You just can't drive it.

More input from FAQ Farmers:

I am unaware of a company that sells insurance to people without a drivers license number first on file. This is usually necessary to check for tickets and / or accidents. Check with your local state DOI (Dept of Insurance) for state specific laws and regulations that you & the insurance company may be subject to.

My company would insure you, but if there was a claim we would not pay it.
