Thank you for reaching out to me for advise. Your insurance policy is like a contract. When it lapses, you need a fresh one- for the next term. Insurers, traditionally, abstain from asking clients for proof (of the vehicles condition - through photographs, etc.), if you seek renewal, either: (a) when your policy is active, or (b) within a stipulated period from the date of your policy having lapsed (which differs from insurer to insurer). As a matter of right, yush are entitled to ask the insurer / your agen, to point you to the relevant clauses in the insurance-policy (which you wish to opt for) and/ or its supporting guidelines - for document requirements, for an uninsured vehicle/ a vehicle with a lapsed policy. While you are advised to comply with the requirements that are mentioned in print, you can always seek a concession from the insurer. Needless to say, the insurer can exercise its discression in entertaining such a request.
