Car Insurance Certificates:
The certificate is proof that the use of a vehicle is insured
in accordance with the Road Traffic Act 1988 (qv) and is issued
by the insurer in the form specified by the Motor Vehicles
(Third Party Risks) Regulations 1972. Section 147 (1) provides
that a certificate must be delivered to the person or body
effecting the insurance otherwise, for the purpose of the
Act, the insurance is not effective.
The insured can authorise an agent to receive the certificate
on his behalf. When an insurance is cancelled the certificate
must be surrendered to the Car Insurer within seven days of
the cancellation date. Where the certificate has been lost
or destroyed a statutory declaration must be made to that
effect.
You will need to show your car insurance certificate to purchase
road tax .
