If you have been recently involved in a Road Traffic Accident (RTA) you can check the insurance details of the other parties involved on the MID (Motor Insurance Database)
There are two ways to check if a vehicle is insured after an accident: a one-off askMID search or using the askMID Roadside service.
The ‘askMID Roadside’ service is intended for use on a smart mobile device at the side of the road.
It allows you to instantly check the Motor Insurance Database (MID) and confirm the insurance details of the other parties involved in an accident.
In order to complete the simple askMID Roadside check on a mobile device you need to have the following pieces of information to hand:
- your email address
- your vehicle registration number
- the vehicle registration number of the other vehicle involved.
If you are on a smart mobile device use the askMID Roadside service now.
If you are not at the roadside then you can obtain the same information by completing a one-off askMID search.
