Hello all,

Just a quick question regarding askMID. How long does it take to update? My sister is buying her first car (a 2000 Skoda Fabia 1.4 16v if anyone is interested) later on today, and has insured it with Diamond, with cover commencing from midday today.

Out of interest, I went on to askMID and entered the registration, only to find that it is showing as uninsured. How long should it take to update? Does the insurance company or the DVLA update it? Will it get pinged by an ANPR camera for having no insurance? (I know that last question sounds stupid, but she is worrying bless her, and I'm not too sure on where the ANPR database gets its info from.)

Many thanks in advance.

Right, thanks guys, lets hope her and dad don't get pinged on the way home tonight. Unfortunately, her certificate of motor insurance hasn't come through, and I dont think she had the where with all to print a copy of the online confirmation of cover... hope the insurance company is open late...
