Question

Help answer this question below.

I'm in Ontario. I drive my husband's car, its only his name on the title. I worry that if I get pulled over, I won't be able to prove I have a right to drive the car. Should I carry my marriage certificate? I have a pretty severe phobia of police.

You are worrying for no reason.

If you two are married, the last name and address on the title will be sufficient to prove ownership.

The police are not your enemy.

- Aside from my question apparently being "not helpful"...
  There is some back-story that wouldn't fit in the question. I'm american, and he's canadian, and he got the car while I was state side. He is the only one on the title, and because I am going through an immigration process right now, I thought it unwise to change my name.

Do you have insurance on the car? Is your name on the insurance papers? That should prove you have the right to drive the car.

- My husband does have insurance. When we called the company they explained that him being covered means I am covered also...It's not on any paperwork

- Maybe the best thing to do is call the local city hall and speak to a judge, ask him how you should handle this. Just tell him car title is in your husbands name, you have insurance (and what the insurance co. said) and do you need to have any type of paperwork showing you have permission to drive your husbands car.

Get a dated signed statement from hubby that you have his permission to drive the car at any time to any place that you deem fit.

Mind you I'm in Texas so what do I know of Ontario.
