My policy questionnaires always asked for the driver licenses of operators and their marital status. You should check with your agent. I could be incorrect but I am fairly certain I'm not. Good luck.
In my dealings with insurance companies, many make their own rules and few of us question them. I do know they sometimes ask this question and have been for years with respect to cars, so why not sleds.
I even had one, Travelers,while I was with Melcher & Prescott, try to alter my rates midway through the policy period saying a mistake was made in the description of the work.
In the end a call to BBB put a stop to this and I dropped M&P for a much better company and lowered my rates in the process.
