Yes, but most states require insurance before you can register or license the car.
Expanded AnswerThe individual states, almost unanimously, require licensed drivers to carry a certain level of liability insurance. But I do not know of a state that requires proof of insurance as a condition of mere ownership of a motor vehicle.
This issue has come to the public eye in recent months because of comparisons between state requirements for automobile liability insurance and proposed federal requirements for health insurance. It is claimed by advocates of federally-imposed health care insurance that the mandate is similar to that imposed by most states with regard to automobile liability insurance.

What happens when you purchase a used car from a dealer is that you get information from the dealer on the car you are buying, such as make, model, year, VIN number, then you call your insurance company. This can be done at your home or you can do it right in the dealer's office. If you are trading in an old car, you can transfer the insurance from your old car to your new car. Then, the insurance company will fax an insurance binder to the car dealer, because they will need that to transfer your car plates. You keep that faxed insurance binder as proof of insurance until you get your real policy in the mail from your insurance company.
