i'm not really here
insured the car on Sat and now need to tax it, i just checked the askMID site and its not been updated and still showing as no insurance i know the police use the information from askMID do DVLA for taxing purposes also how long before it shows up as insured
 
Just keep a photocopy of your policy in the glove box, you will be fine if stopped by the police and show them this, they can the call your insurers to verify
 
Insurers get (I think) 14 days to update the MID. But sometimes they can forget, a client of mine had a van impounded thanks to insurers forgetting, plus the driver only spoke Polish, to the Liverpudlian copper.
As per previous post, print a copy of your certificate and keep it in your wallet or the car. The police will ring the insurer to check it is legit.
