Drivers crossing into Northern Ireland without correct documentation will risk fines
Green Cards are internationally recognised insurance documents which provide proof of insurance cover to law enforcement agencies in the relevant country.
It is a hard copy document which is printed on green paper or with a green background. If there is a no-deal Brexit on March 29th, then any motorist who plans on driving their Irish-registered vehicle in Northern Ireland or the UK is advised to ensure they have a Green Card or they could be subjected to the penalties for driving uninsured after that date.
The Oireachtas members were also informed that the Green Cards will not be necessary if a deal is agreed between the UK and the EU on Brexit. If the UK were to delay their plans for Brexit then the need for Green Cards would also be delayed.in the Republic of Ireland. The MIBI is a not for profit organisation that was established to compensate victims of road traffic accidents caused by uninsured and unidentified vehicles.
He expressed the hope that Green Cards “will not be required and that the UK will reach an agreement with the EU on an orderly Brexit. If a transitional Brexit arrangement is put in place between the EU and the UK then Green Cards will not be required. While a delayed Brexit means the need for Green Cards will also be pushed back.”
However, he said that as things stand a no-deal Brexit could occur on the 29th March “and it is important that the motoring public is aware of the implications. Under a ‘no deal’ Brexit then Irish insurance documentation may no longer be recognised by the law enforcement authorities in Northern Ireland or the rest of the UK. “
