(3) A certificate of financial responsibility;
(4) A valid binder of insurance issued by an insurance company licensed to sell motor vehicle liability insurance in Missouri; or
(5) A legible photocopy, facsimile, or printout of an electronic transmission of a document listed in the act, provided the dealer receives the photocopy, facsimile, or printout directly from a licensed insurance company or licensed insurance agency.
