You can insure a car in Van Nuys without a California driver's license, with an ITIN in place of a Social Security number, and with an SR-22 filing if the DMV has asked for one. We do it by phone, with no office visit. This guide covers the Van Nuys DMV and courthouse you may deal with, what to have ready, and how the quote works.
No. Our walk-in offices are in Stockton, San Jose and San Rafael, all in Northern California. Van Nuys drivers work with us remotely: call 209-670-1556, send photos of your ID and registration, sign the application on your phone, and the insurance ID card arrives by text or email. Nothing about a no-license or ITIN policy needs a trip to one of our offices.

Call 209-670-1556The DMV field office in Van Nuys is at 14920 Vanowen Street, Van Nuys, CA 91405, on Vanowen rather than Van Nuys Boulevard. Its posted hours are 8am to 5pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 9am to 5pm on Wednesday, closed weekends, and the office has a self-serve kiosk for quick transactions. This is the nearby office for an AB 60 license application or a driving test. Source: California DMV, Van Nuys field office (checked October 26, 2026; confirm hours there before you go).
The Los Angeles Superior Court lists Van Nuys West Courthouse among the county's traffic courthouses, and the county directory places it at 14400 Erwin St. Mall, Van Nuys, CA 91401. If you were cited for driving without a license or without proof of insurance, the citation or court notice names the courthouse your case is assigned to.

Everyday driving here means the I-405 (San Diego Freeway) on the west side of Van Nuys and the US-101 (Ventura Freeway) to the south, which is one reason we talk through liability limits above the state minimum with Valley drivers.
California's licensing rules decide who may drive; they do not stop a person without a license from buying a policy on a car. Carriers in our network can rate a driver on a foreign driver's license, a matrícula consular, a passport or an AB 60 license, and the ID you hold mainly changes which carriers we can approach. If you plan to apply for AB 60, the DMV describes it as a license for people "unable to provide proof of legal presence in the United States, but who meet California DMV requirements and are able to provide proof of identity and California residency." You can insure the car now and add the new license to the policy later. Source: California DMV, AB 60 driver licenses. More detail: auto insurance without a license in California.
The IRS defines an ITIN as "a 9-digit number the IRS issues if you need a U.S. taxpayer identification number for federal tax purposes, but you aren't eligible for a Social Security number." On an auto application it stands in for the SSN with the carriers that accept it. Your record, the car and where it is garaged still set the rate; the ITIN decides which companies can take the application. Source: IRS, Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.

We do not publish a Van Nuys-only price table, and we will not invent one. The closest real reference is our own book. What Via Rapida auto customers paid us over the last 12 months (our own policy records, 10,980 policies, Oct 2026), not a quote: liability-only median $112/month (middle half $83–$154); full coverage median $285/month (middle half $219–$381). Those are figures from customers across California, not a Van Nuys-specific rate. A driver without a US license or with a violation can land above these figures; we quote it the same day. Source: Via Rapida Services policy records, October 2026.
Any policy we place meets California's liability floor of $30,000 for injury or death to one person, $60,000 for injury or death to more than one person and $15,000 for property damage (Cal. Ins. Code §11580.1(b)). Those limits pay other people; collision and comprehensive, which a lender will require on a financed car, are what pay for your own vehicle.

The DMV accepts a "California Proof of Insurance Certificate (SR 22)" as proof of coverage, and that is the form a carrier files when the DMV requires it, for example after a DUI or an uninsured accident (same DMV source). When we bind your policy the carrier files the SR 22 electronically. Keep the policy continuous, because a cancellation is reported to the DMV. Related: SR-22 cost guide for California.

Yes. A license is what California requires to drive, not to buy a policy. Carriers in our network can write a policy using a foreign driver's license, a matrícula consular, a passport or an ITIN. If you later get an AB 60 license at the DMV office on Vanowen Street, we add it to the policy.
There is no single Van Nuys price. For reference, here is what Via Rapida auto customers paid us over the last 12 months (our own policy records, 10,980 policies, Oct 2026), not a quote: liability-only median $112/month (middle half $83–$154); full coverage median $285/month (middle half $219–$381). Source: Via Rapida Services policy records. Your own rate depends on your driving record, years of driving experience, the vehicle, the coverage you pick and where the car is parked overnight. Call 209-670-1556 to start.
Yes. The SR 22 is the insurer's proof-of-insurance certificate sent to the DMV, not a license. Once the policy is bound, the carrier files the certificate electronically, so there is nothing for you to mail or drop off.
No office visit needed. Bilingual agents. Same-day proof of insurance.
