All insurers must provide details of your motor insurance policy to the MID. It’s no longer
enough just to be insured, all vehicles must be listed on the MID.
The role of the MID
Data from the MID is used by police to help combat uninsured driving. If your details
haven’t been entered on the MID you may be stopped by the police. There’s a risk that your vehicle could be seized
if the correct details haven’t been registered.
For private individuals it’s the responsibility of the insurance provider to get
details of a policy or changes on MID within seven days of the effective date.
For company vehicles it’s
the responsibility of the policy holder to ensure that their company vehicle details are provided for MID. To find out more
about this please contact your insurance provider.
Check your vehicle is on the MID
It’s now possible to check that your
vehicle is registered on the MID. By logging on to Askmid and following the instructions you can confirm quickly and easily
that your vehicle insurance details have been entered.
All you have to do is enter your vehicle’s registration number and to confirm that
the vehicle is registered, owned or insured by either you or your employer and regularly driven by you. Then press enter and
the system will instantly tell you whether or not a policy for your vehicle is recorded on the system.
It’s the responsibility of your insurance
company to ensure that the details of your policy are recorded on the MID. If askmid has no record of your motor insurance
on the system you should contact your insures or broker immediately.
