Yes, you should inform them all of accidents, infractions or claims regardless of scope or location.

Many auto insurance policies require the policyholder to inform them of any accidents.

So the terms of your insurance policy in North Dakota may require you to inform your insurance provider of any accidents you are involved in, including those that may have happened out of the country. You are required legally to answer all the questions in their auto insurance contract truthfully before you sign your name to the document.

If this accident that happened out of the country or your current driving record causes your auto insurance premiums to increase you can shop online for low cost auto insurance in North Dakota.
