What does a State Farm declarations page look like?

A declarations page (commonly referred to as "dec page") hosts the most important information about your insurance policy — who is covered, what is covered, and for which limits. For State Farm customers, your declarations page looks like this:

How to read your declarations page by section:

Policy number: This is your unique policy number, which you’ll need when filing a claim.
Policy term: Lists the effective date and expiration date of your policy.
Policyholder name and address: The address listed must be that of the policyholder and the primary location at which the vehicle is kept.
Vehicle information: The insured car's make, model, year and VIN are listed here.
Coverages, limits and deductibles: Lists bodily injury and property damage liability (required), as well as any elected coverages such as comprehensive, collision, etc. The limits list the maximum amount that each coverage will pay as well as any required deductible you have to pay out of pocket.
Premium: The amount you’ll pay over the course of the policy term. Can be listed as a six-month or one-year total.

How to find your State Farm declarations page online

In order to access your declarations page online, you must be logged in to your account on State Farm's website. Once you're in, navigate to the circle icon in the upper right-hand corner and select documents.

Next, look for the correct "policy notice"— this may say "renewal notice" if you have just renewed your policy. Documents are organized by type of insurance, so if you have more than one policy with State Farm (auto and renters, auto and homeowners, etc) select the policy notice for the insurance product you're looking for.

By selecting the red hyperlink labeled "Policy Notice" a new tab will open up with a PDF version of your insurance documents, starting with your declarations page.

Zebra tip: Renewal is a great time to shop around

If your policy renewal premium was higher than you're happy with, consider comparing quotes with other companies. Now that you've found your declarations page, you can compare coverage exactly and ensure you are getting quoted for a comparable policy.

Advice from your agent: Compare coverages line by line

"A lot of people focus only on the cost of insurance without truly comparing coverage apples to apples. I always encourage folks to go line by line through their policy before switching. Often, you’ll discover that certain coverages were removed, limits were lowered, or deductibles were increased. It’s essential to ensure all coverages are equal first, and then compare the price."

Do I need to keep a printed insurance card in my vehicle or can I show digital proof of insurance on my phone?

As of October 2022, 49/50 states and Washington D.C. allow for digital proof of auto insurance rather than a printed paper ID card. The only state not currently included is New Mexico which means in Oklahoma it is perfectly acceptable, and legal, to use an electronic copy on your phone.
