Auto Third Party consists of banks, lessors, leases, additional insureds, certificate holders or government agencies that may have an interest in the policy and would like to verify information on an auto policy.

Auto insurance policies are contracts between the named insured and the insurance company. These are the only parties that can initiate a cancellation.

Our Privacy Policy allows certain customer information to be released to third parties for policy servicing purposes. Information can be released to a third party if they are shown on the policy to protect their financial interest. If the third party is not listed on the policy, information should not be released until our policyholder has requested the third party be added to their policy.

However, if a third party is able to properly identify themselves as a third party with an interest in the insurance policy, they have the agreement of the policyholder to receive coverage information from State Farm and be added as a third party. If the State Farm Associate or Agent receiving the call recognizes the caller to be a typical third party and the caller can provide the policyholder's name, address, and vehicle information, then that will meet the requirement.

The same information can be shared with third parties whether or not there is a do not share message based on their insurable interest.

You will need to contact your customer or the State Farm agent listed on the auto policy.

You will need to contact the State Farm agent listed on the auto policy.
