Your insurance certificate may not be sufficient since it was printed some time ago. Best to contact the company and get a recent letter on their letterhead, even notarized if possible, saying that you had insurance in effect on the day in question.

If you prove that you did indeed have insurance at the time of the violation, you will only be guilty of not keeping that proof in your vehicle while operating that vehicle which should void the need for a full hearing and result only in a minor fine in most jurisdictions. If the insurance became effective AFTER the time/date of the violation, however, you face the maximum penalty of driving without coverage.

No. The insurance certificate is not enough - you need either a letter from your agent, or a letter from the company, advising that you had coverage in place to meet the legal liability limits in your state, for the time period in question. A copy of your policy would help.
Why do they think you have no insurance?

If your certificate proves that you had insurance when you got the citation you should be OK. I'd bring a letter from my insurance agent as well.
