303.024. 1. Each insurer issuing motor vehicle liability policies in this state, or an agent of the insurer, shall furnish an insurance identification card to the named insured for each motor vehicle insured by a motor vehicle liability policy that complies with the requirements of sections 303.010 to 303.050, 303.060, 303.140, 303.220, 303.290, 303.330 and 303.370.
2. The insurance identification card shall include all of the following information:
(1) The name and address of the insurer;
(2) The name of the named insured;
(3) The policy number;
(4) The effective dates of the policy, including month, day and year;
(5) A description of the insured motor vehicle, including year and make or at least five digits of the vehicle identification number or the word "Fleet" if the insurance policy covers five or more motor vehicles; and
(6) The statement "THIS CARD MUST BE CARRIED IN THE INSURED MOTOR VEHICLE FOR PRODUCTION UPON DEMAND" prominently displayed on the card.
3. A new insurance identification card shall be issued when the insured motor vehicle is changed, when an additional motor vehicle is insured, and when a new policy number is assigned. A replacement insurance identification card shall be issued at the request of the insured in the event of loss of the original insurance identification card.
4. The director shall furnish each self-insurer, as provided for in section 303.220, an insurance identification card for each motor vehicle so insured. The insurance identification card shall include all of the following information:
(1) Name of the self-insurer;
(2) The word "self-insured"; and
(3) The statement "THIS CARD MUST BE CARRIED IN THE SELF-INSURED MOTOR VEHICLE FOR PRODUCTION UPON DEMAND" prominently displayed on the card.
5. An insurance identification card shall be carried in the insured motor vehicle at all times. The operator of an insured
motor vehicle shall exhibit the insurance identification card on the demand of any peace officer, commercial vehicle
enforcement officer or commercial vehicle inspector who lawfully stops such operator or investigates an accident while
that officer or inspector is engaged in the performance of the officer's or inspector's duties. If the operator fails to exhibit
an insurance identification card, the officer or inspector [shall] may issue a citation to the operator for a violation of
section 303.025. A motor vehicle liability insurance policy, a motor vehicle liability insurance binder, or receipt which
contains the policy information required in subsection 2 of this section, shall be satisfactory evidence of insurance in lieu
of an insurance identification card.
