Road Safety Minister, Jim Fitzpatrick MP has announced that action is to be taken to allow consumers to receive their motor insurance certificates by email.

The ABI (Association of British Insurers) has been calling for a change in the law so that customers can benefit from new technology and receive their motor insurance certificates electronically.

The ABI's Assistant Director of Property, Motor and Liability, Justin Jacobs said...

"This announcement will have significant benefits for motorists. Enabling the use of the latest technology will improve customer service and will bring insurance technology into line with other industries."

"The insurance industry will in the future be able to provide quicker, more convenient and more reliable delivery of these important documents to their customers. And the move will save the industry between £5-10m a year. Electronic delivery also has the benefit of being more environmentally friendly."
