Does it take a car to appear on the insurance database?
I insured my 106 on saturday about 5 o'clock, but I used askmid and it says it isnt on the insurance database?

Oh, thats ok then, it was set from about 20 mins after the phonecall to the insurance. Problem is the car needs taxed, and the dvla online tax thing uses askmid to confirm insurance

doubt she'd notice... just either go without and say 'oh sorry I forgot it' or just shop a note if you don't have one.
They're pretty slow in the post office.

tbh its up to the insurer to put it on, and it should be done immediately.
i have a nightmare with claims at work trying to trace unknown drivers . MID search shows me an insurer but when i ring them they tell me that they dont insure the car because it was sold months earlier but MID details were just never updated.

Whenever I buy a car, I insure it at the sellers house over the phone or online.

When I went to look at the XE I phoned up, got a quote and asked if I could put it on ice. When I got there and all was well (or so I thought), all it took was a quick 5 minute phonecall and all was sorted.
