If the insurance is in effect when the damage occurred, the lack of registration shouldn't matter.
The insurance company Does Not void your registration, Your State does. Some States department of motor vehicles will void your registration if you have no valid auto insurance or fail to maintain your Financial Responsibility.
His insurance is not valid BUTWhere I live is insurance company is required by law to pay for the damage he caused and then they may sue him for the money.
No it must be covered by an insurance policy valid in the state of registration.
Yes, but you might need to get a waiver of insurance requirements from the state if the vehicle has a valid registration. If the vehicle does not have valid plates then no insurance would be needed. Don't drive an uninsured vehicle though.
If the vehicle is not properly registered the insurance company is not liable. Unless at the time the "temporary tag" was valid. I used to work as an attorney for Liberty Mutual. In California, whether or not a car is currently registered is not relevant to the insurance coverage. The insurance company is still on the hook, even if the registration has expired at some point after the insurance company issued its policy.
no I knew somebody who transferred her husband's registration and insurance to her name after he died, but she never drove even once in her life (and so was never licenced to drive).
The insurance is still valid. However, if you go and drive it without it having current tags and registration and get into an accident, you'd be violating the terms of your insurance, and any claim you file as a result of such is likely to be denied.
Insurance would not require a valid registration but in order to be able to drive the vehicle you would need to register the vehicle again. You probably would not be able to register the vehicle until after you insure it.

Usually you can. The reason for this is that the insurance company generally has not access to know if the tag is valid or not. Insurance companies in Georgia do not ask for a tag number but on the vehicle identification number. The insurance company here reports to the State when a vehicle is insured or cancelled but probably does not have access to those records themselves. The company is interested in the drivers license history and claims history which they do have access to.
Contact the vendor of the insurance policy. There will be an address on the policy, and if the address is no longer valid search for the company name in Google.
I found an old Knights Life policy-is it worth anything?
