Preparing Your Blue Envelope
Below are tips on preparing the contents for your Blue Envelope:
- Gather and Complete Your Documents: Make a copy of your current driver’s license, vehicle registration, and insurance card. Additionally, complete the enclosed card with your name, emergency contact information, and any medical issues or special instructions.
- Place Documents Inside: Insert the documents above into the Blue Envelope. The envelope ensures that your documents are secure, yet easily retrievable.
- Consider Attaching the Blue Envelope to Your Sun Visor: For ease of access, consider attaching the envelope to the sun visor on the driver’s side of your vehicle, or another easily accessible and visible location. This ensures the envelope is readily available during a traffic stop or when you need to present your documents quickly. The envelope is designed to be easily recognizable by Public Safety Officers.
- Inform Family Members and Friends: If you share your vehicle with family members, or a friend is present with you, inform them about the Blue Envelope program and its purpose. This ensures that anyone who might be with you as a passenger, or driving your vehicle, understands the importance of the envelope and where those documents can be found.
- Keep Your Documents Up To Date: Be sure that your documents in your Blue Envelope are the most current versions. Keeping your information up to date is essential for avoiding any miscommunications during a traffic stop.
Remember, your Blue Envelope is a communication tool created for you and Public Safety Officers. Taking the above steps to prepare your envelope means you are ready to use this tool effectively whenever it is needed.
