In order to meet the requirements of UK law, fleet and motor trade policyholders are obliged to provide their vehicle data for the Motor Insurance Database.

A "fleet/motor trade policyholder" includes every person or company with a motor insurance policy covering multiple vehicles, including, for example,  motor traders, group taxi policies, classic car collections and companies who consider themselves to be "self-insured" but have an underlying insurance policy for third party risks.  Crown bodies with commercial insurance are also covered.

If you fit into the category of fleet or motor trade policyholder, or you drive a vehicle covered by one of these policies, then you need to ensure your vehicle details are on the MID.

You can find out more about how to do this in the Fleets and the MID leaflet and the Motor Trade and the MID leaflet.  If you want to print them to make A5 leaflets rather than read them on the screen, you may find these versions easier: A5 version of the Fleets and the MID leaflet and A5 version of the Motor Trade and the MID leaflet.  You can also obtain printed versions from your insurer.
