Irish Motor Insurance Database (MTPL and NFD)

Welcome to the Irish Motor Insurance Database (MTPL & NFD)

The Irish Motor Insurance Database (IMID), comprising the Motor Third Party Liability (MTPL) Database and the National Fleet Database (NFD), provides a single point of reference for motor vehicles insured in Ireland.

The data in the IMID is provided by motor insurers, brokers, fleet owners and motor traders. The data includes policy holder details, vehicles registration numbers and names of drivers that are permitted to driver the vehicles that are covered by each policy. The IMID is managed by the MIBI and the data is shared with the Department of Transport and An Garda Síochána as set out in Section 78A of the Road Traffic Act.

Also included are the driver numbers of every insured driver. The driver number is a unique number that is given to every licensed driver and stays with them regardless of which vehicle they are using. This information helps enhance road safety, providing An Garda Síochána with a more comprehensive insight into any offences a driver may have committed – making it even more difficult for drivers who act illegally on Irish roads to evade detection.

All information contained on IMID is updated on a daily basis, with An Garda Síochána provided with the latest information every day.
