 Motor insurance database

 Information about your insurance policy will be added to the Motor Insurance Database (MID) which is managed by the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). Certain
 government or authorised organisations including the police, the DVLA, the DVLNI, the Insurance Fraud Bureau and other organisations allowed by law may use
 the MID and the information stored on it for purposes including Continuous Insurance Enforcement (you can get information about this from the Department of
 Transport), electronic vehicle licensing, law enforcement for the purposes of preventing, detecting, catching or prosecuting offenders and providing government
 services or other services aimed at reducing the level of uninsured driving. If you are involved in a road-traffic accident (either in the UK, the EEA or certain other
 territories), insurers or the MIB (or both) may search the MID to gather relevant information. Anyone making a claim for a road-traffic accident (including their
 appointed representatives and citizens of other countries) may also gather relevant information which is held on the MID. It is vital that the MID holds your
 correct registration number. If it is not shown correctly on the MID, you are at risk of having your vehicle seized by the police. You can check that your correct
 registration number details are shown on the MID at www.askmid.com.
