Motorcycle Insurance Requirements for Washington D.C.

Motorcycle insurance is required by law in Washington, D.C., and all riders must carry at least the minimum level of liability coverage to ride legally. Failing to maintain active insurance can result in fines, registration suspension, or having your motorcycle towed, even if the lapse is temporary. The minimum required liability coverage includes the following:

• $25,000 for bodily injury per person
• $50,000 for bodily injury per accident
• $10,000 for property damage

In addition to liability insurance, D.C. also requires all riders to carry Uninsured Motorist Coverage, which protects you if you're involved in an accident caused by someone who doesn’t have insurance. These limits include:

• $25,000 per person
• $50,000 per accident
• $5,000 for property damage

Insurance policies must be issued by a company licensed in the District, and coverage must remain active for as long as your motorcycle is registered. Even if your bike is in storage, it’s important to avoid lapses in coverage to prevent penalties or delays when you're ready to ride again.
