The Azores overseas insurance FAQ

Vehicle registration
There are 2 types of registration, military and local civilian.

  • Military registration is for vehicles shipped under military agreement. Before you can register, you need a green card, or international motor insurance card. Contact us once you have your overseas address and we’ll email it to you. Then, you can register the vehicle and get a license plate from a U.S. military vehicle registration office.
  • Civilian registration is for vehicles purchased locally. Visit a local registration office to register the vehicle. You can keep the license plate from the dealership or previous owner.

Report your Portuguese license plate number on usaa.com or the mobile app or call us as soon as you have it. Failure to do so could result in a fine and seizure of your vehicle.

Proof of insurance
After you register the vehicle and give us the license plate number, we’ll email you the proof of insurance. You’re required to display it in your vehicle at all times.
