The the OP. Personally, I suspect you are still covered BUT you may either lose a discount for using a non American licence OR soon have your insurance cancelled. As Bob said, you need to phone them and find out.

In England, insurance can't be issued then revoked without the insurance company making reasonable attempts to advise the policy holder. I would hope the same is true here?

In MA, car insurance is tied to the DMV and linked up to your license and car registration, so you get pulled over and your insurance gets revoked, you can and do get done for driving with a invalid license and car registration.

Mmmm.....having happily driven around Ohio on my visits for the last 8 months, State Farm suddenly sent us a letter this week stating they do not have a US or Canadian driving licence on file for me.
......errrr that would be because we told you I was visiting and using an English Licence......
Do you think this means I'm no longer insured?

Sure, but the OP sounds like he was in the same position as me. Took out cover against his foreign (British?) driving licence, then updated it as and when they gained it. If I hadn't gained my licence by now, I'm not sure my insurer would object (clearly they'll have a timeline before they do of course, which is what I suspect the OP has run into) - they certainly didn't when I took out the policy.

Yeah. I don't know why the OP hasn't gained a US DL yet, given they're handed out like confetti.
