Yes, though state laws very you normally can go through some state agency to check if an individual is insured. If you want to check if a certain vehicle is insured some Department of Motor Vehicles may be able to provide you this information if you have a VIN or license plate for the car. This could be helpful if you were hit by a vehicle and got the license plate number and want to know about the owner and if they are insured.

In the state of California you can request the insurance information by contacting the Department of Motor Vehicle’s Financial Responsibility Unit and submitting a form.
