Does Car Insurance Have To Be In Your Name? 
Most if not all states require that you show proof of insurance in order to register a car and maintain that registration in good order . Here in Connecticut , as a result , if a car is titled to you , then it needs to be registered to you and the insurance policy must name you as a principal insured on the policy . The insurance company will also want to have named any other drivers residing in your household as they have access to the car . Some companies will require that any other drivers in teh household be formally excluded from coverage if they are not to be named as drivers on your policy .
