• Please notify us immediately of any accident (regardless of fault) or citation for which the police have issued a report.  State law requires your agent submit a Certificate of Compliance to the BMV within 10 days which provides proof of financial responsibility.  If not completed, your driver's license will be in jeopardy of suspension.  For more information about this and on-line services for Indiana drivers, please go to: http://www.in.gov/bmv/
