In general, in actual operation, you do not need to take pictures of your nameplate when purchasing and renewing insurance. It would be fine if the same company tells them the policy number for renewal, but different companies can just tell them the license plate number and other information. Not that troublesome.
Normally speaking, you only need to take this photo when you apply for compensation for an accident. In addition, if you want to take a photo, you can take a camera to take a panoramic view, then turn the engine on and take a close-up of the nameplate (as long as you can clearly see the words on it.)
