Will my temp van insurance policy appear on the motor insurance database (MID)?

While your temporary policy will eventually show on the MID, it won’t appear instantly. If you are buying a short term van insurance policy to use immediately, then it’s unlikely to show up when you’re first driving.


Keep your policy details to hand. These will be emailed to you straight away. For more information on how long it takes to show on the MID, check our guide.
