SERVICE OVERVIEW
Auto Insurance for Drivers With a Foreign License
Many standard carriers turn away drivers who hold a license issued outside the United States, even when that driver has a clean record. At Felicity Insurance, we work with carriers who will write a policy for drivers using a valid foreign license, so having an out-of-country license doesn’t stop you from getting on the road legally.
We help drivers throughout Riverside County, San Bernardino County, and surrounding communities find real coverage, whether they’re new to the area, here for work, or long-term residents who haven’t obtained a California license.
Common Situations We Help With:
Drivers who recently moved to the U.S. and hold a valid foreign license
Drivers with an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside their home country license
Drivers who need coverage while establishing California residency

Frequently Asked Questions
Felicity insurance Answers
Got a question we didn’t answer here? Reach out and we’ll get back to you quickly.
Can I get auto insurance with a foreign driver's license?
Yes. Felicity Insurance provides an option for drivers with a foreign-issued license who need auto insurance in the United States. Your eligibility and available coverage can depend on your driving history, license, vehicle, and other policy requirements. You can also review the company’s main auto insurance options to compare different types of coverage.
What information do I need to get insurance with a foreign license?
When requesting a policy, it is helpful to have your foreign driver’s license information, vehicle details, address, driving history, and other information requested by the insurance provider. Providing accurate details can help Felicity Insurance determine which coverage options may be available for your situation.
Can I get full coverage with a foreign driver's license?
Depending on your circumstances and eligibility, you may be able to obtain broader vehicle protection. Customers who want more extensive protection can review full coverage auto insurance and discuss their specific licensing situation with Felicity Insurance.
Is liability insurance available for drivers with foreign licenses?
Drivers with foreign licenses can ask about liability coverage based on their individual circumstances. Liability auto insurance can provide protection for covered legal liability arising from an accident, subject to the policy’s terms, limits, and exclusions.
Can a foreign-license driver get insurance if they have a limited U.S. driving history?
A limited U.S. driving history does not necessarily mean you cannot obtain insurance. Insurance eligibility and pricing depend on several factors, including your driving record and the insurer’s underwriting requirements. If you have additional risk factors, you can also ask about high-risk auto insurance.
What if I have a foreign license and need an SR-22?
If you have an SR-22 requirement in addition to holding a foreign license, you should discuss both circumstances with Felicity Insurance. The company offers SR-22 auto insurance for eligible drivers who need this type of filing.
Can I get insurance if I don't have a U.S. driver's license?
Felicity Insurance has a separate option for customers seeking auto insurance without a license. Whether you qualify will depend on your particular circumstances and the applicable insurance requirements.
What if my foreign license is no longer valid?
A driver’s license that has expired, been suspended, or is otherwise invalid can create different insurance considerations. Felicity Insurance also provides information about suspended license auto insurance, but customers should contact the agency directly to explain their exact licensing situation before selecting coverage.
How can I find out whether I qualify for foreign-license auto insurance?
The best way to determine your options is to provide Felicity Insurance with your license information, vehicle details, location, and driving history. You can contact Felicity Insurance to discuss your situation or call +1 (888) 257-8015 for direct assistance.
