The National Insurance Commission (NIC) has commenced the implementation of the Motor Insurance Database (MID). The objective of the introduction of the Motor Insurance Database is to curb the menace of vehicles with fake motor insurance stickers plying the roads, thus endangering lives and property.

The MID comes with electronic Motor Insurance Stickers with QR Codes which are generated from the MID Portal. The QR code can be scanned with a QR Code Reader to verify the authenticity of the sticker and for that matter the insurance policy.
