Can the insurance policy be used as proof of automobile insurance under German law and U.S. Forces regulations?

In Germany, proof of automobile insurance is typically required to be in the form of specific documentation that meets legal standards. An insurance policy document itself may not suffice as valid proof due to the requirements outlined in German law, which often necessitates showing a valid insurance card or certificate that indicates the insurance coverage is current and compliant with local laws.

Moreover, U.S. Forces regulations align with the local law's requirements to ensure that service members operating vehicles within Germany comply with legal standards. These regulations emphasize the importance of having the appropriate proof readily available during vehicle inspections or in the event of an accident, further supporting the idea that an insurance policy alone does not meet these criteria. Thus, relying solely on an insurance policy as proof is not acceptable under German law or U.S. Forces regulations.
