The MID was set up to comply with an EU Directive, which requires insurance details of all vehicles in member states to be easily accessed by a national information centre. We will work with you and your insurance company to ensure you comply with this directive.
Continuous Insurance Enforcement (CIE) has been implemented to reduce the number of uninsured drivers. Under CIE, the registered keeper of a vehicle will be sent an Advisory Letter if it appears that the vehicle has no insurance, unless it has a valid Statutory Off Road Notice (SORN).
