I just turned 16 today and I was going to get my license tomorrow, but I need to know if I have to get my insurance taken care of before I go to the DMV. I already took the test and all that stuff, I just need the license. Can you get your license then register for your insurance? Or is it vice versa?

in Texas and i think most states you don't. Generally you don't have insurance yet because you aren't driving. If you do have a form of insurance then it is sort of like a temoray thing you or your parents probably got when you got your permit. But no they generally don't ask for it. however i have heard of some states now trying to pass a law saying that once you have your license when you renew it you have to show insurance but that is too make sure that there are insured drivers on the road.
generally if you call the DMV they will be able to tell you what they require for you to get your license.

I didn't have to have insurance before I got my drivers license. Most 16 year olds don't have cars so how would they have insurance. You don't necessarily have to have a car to have a drivers license right?

You don't even have to own a car to get a license. They won't ask for proof of insurance.

It depends on the state you live in, call or go to the secretary of state website and check for your state laws.
