Resolving Insurance Proof Dispute

Summary

If you showed proof of insurance in court but it wasnt recorded, you can request court records or transcripts from the Kentucky court where the ticket was issued. Contact the court clerks office for assistance. If further proof is unavailable due to the owners death, consider filing an affidavit explaining the situation. If the judge did not accept your explanation, consulting a local attorney for personalized advice may be beneficial. Court records are generally maintained indefinitely, but processing times can vary. A proof of insurance card is usually sufficient, but a letter from the insurance company may be needed if there is doubt.
