Requesting information from MIB
Please note that, due to high demand, requests for information are currently taking 2–3 weeks to process. MIB will respond to every request and send out the required data as quickly as possible, and always within the official one-month deadline. Insurers are responsible for ensuring that they upload accurate information to CUE and Navigate Motor Insurance Policy Data (MIPD), including making any necessary updates or deletions. If you are unable to resolve your query with your insurer, you are welcome to contact MIB for further assistance.
Insurance Renewals or New Quotes
If you are in the process of seeking an insurance quote and need details of your claim history, we recommend you first contact your existing or previous insurer.
Here are the quickest ways to identify who was your car insurance provider:
Check Bank Statements: Search for monthly or annual direct debits or credit card charges to insurers.
Search Email Inbox: Search for keywords like "car insurance," "policy," or "renewal" to find documents.
Review Comparison Sites: If you used a price comparison website, log into your account to see your last purchased policy.
Check Paperwork: Look through old physical documents for a policy certificate or renewal notice.
If you have any difficultly completing the interactive form or if the data you require is not listed, you can submit your request to us using the forms below. Although it is not necessary to complete the form, it provides you with a guide on what information we will require from you in order to process your request.
Please find below details of the data we may hold.
If you have lost your certificate of insurance or want to know what information is held on Navigate - the new home for data from the Motor Insurance Policy Database (MIPD). This data is held for 7 years.
If you need to confirm the insurance details of a deceased person, or on behalf of an individual after gaining their written consent, we can provide you with the current insurance details as showing on Navigate. This will allow you to contact the insurers and inform them of the circumstances. This data is held for 7 years.
The Claims and Underwriting Exchange (CUE), is the central database of motor, home, personal injury and industrial illness incidents reported by insurers which may give rise to a claim. This data is held for 6 years from the date the claim was closed.
The Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) is here to compensate victims who have been involved in accidents with a driver who is not insured, or who leaves the scene. If you have been involved in an accident which is or has been handled by the MIB within the last 7 years, you may request this data from us. This data is held for 7 years from the date the claim was closed.
Navigate is the MIB’s data platform that now holds data from two former MIB datasets – the Motor Insurance Database (MIB) and the former Motor Insurance Anti-Fraud & Theft Register (MIAFTR).
Navigate contains records of written off and stolen vehicles. If you have made a claim which has resulted in a written off or stolen vehicle, a record may exist in Navigate.
This information can be released to you however, to check if a specific vehicle is listed as written off or stolen which you were not the owner of at the time of the claim, you will need to carry out an independent Vehicle Provenance Check.
MIB Services which accesses the askCUE PI (personal injury) data is an enquiry service which allows approved organisations to check records held on the CUE PI database before they submit a personal injury claim through the Claims Portal. Once a check is made, the requestor is only provided with relevant loss dates. If you have been a claimant in an accident claim, your details may have been used throughout the claim process and you can request this information from us. This data is held for 3 years.
As a data controller, MIB takes information security and data privacy very seriously. It complies with the spirit as well as the letter of relevant UK and European data protection legislation.
