We automatically send full and complete information to the UK Motor Authorities (MIB) on all the policies for UK registered vehicles insured by Liberty Seguros in Spain.
This information includes the following details:
Updated information on changes to existing policies, or the issue of new policies will continue to be sent to the MIB by Liberty Seguros, at least twice a week, and in the very near future, possibly more often.
Once the MIB receives this information, it automatically goes into their Data base, and once there, the UK Police Force will have automatic access to it. The police can then immediately see that our clients have valid insurance, and they will not be prosecuted, nor have their vehicles seized and impounded for not having valid insurance.
Liberty Seguros must continue to fulfil its legal obligations by supplying correct information to the UK Authorities, and we would therefore like to stress the absolute necessity to issue policies showing CORRECT REGISTRATION NUMBERS, and CORRECT COUNTRY CODES.
Please note that most errors come from using the letter “O” instead of the number zero, or the letter “I” instead of the number one (or vice versa), and of course, when the client changes the vehicle to Spanish plates, A TOTALLY NEW POLICY MUST BE ISSUED.
VERY IMPORTANT: if the registration number is Spanish, the country must show as SPAIN, even though the car has been imported from the UK.
Due to new tax legislation on these islands, Liberty Seguros will no longer issue new policies for vehicles with number plates from Guernsey and Jersey. Cancellation letters will also be sent in the very near future to those of our clients, whose cars we are presently insuring.
