Hi,

Bought car insurance yesterday afternoon. Checked the insurance database and car listed as not insured. How long does it take for MIB to update their records. I thought at midnight everything updates?

Depends how quick the insurance company is at doing the paperwork. I had a traders account where it could take weeks for cars to show up on the MID, other times a day. If you phone them up they might speed it up for you.

It has to be updated within two weeks. It's usually quicker than that, but depends entirely on the insurer. Could be a few days.

Don't Panic Mr Mainwaring!


Seriously, don't panic. If you get pulled by the police, show them the insurance certificate; they'll chase with your insurance provider, insurance provider will say "yes (s)he's insured!
