How long until my car appears on the Motor Insurance Database (MID)?

We have 7 days in which to update the MID with your policy details. This includes new policies sold and policies cancelled. 

However, we usually have the records updated within 1-2 days (subject to the date/time of the change). 

If you've insured your vehicle, and have received your certificate of insurance and personal details confirmation, then you're insured until the record can be updated.
