Am I insured if I have been asked to provide additional documents?

Yes. Once you buy your car insurance, you have temporary cover for up to 30 days until we receive your additional documents.

Once we have received and verified your documents your annual car insurance certificate and disc will be made available or issued within 5 days or after the start date of your policy whichever is the later:

  • Through MyAviva: If you're opted-in to online documentation.
  • By post: If you're not opted-in to online documentation.

Am I insured if I haven’t received my documents yet?

If you have just started a new policy, or you have made an amendment to an existing policy, we will need to issue your new documents online through MyAviva or by post. Your cover will start from the date and time you have selected, so you will be insured to drive whilst waiting on your documents to be issued or delivered.

Please keep your policy reference number with you when you are driving, as if you are stopped this will make it easier for the Gardaí to confirm your cover.
