Q664: I have had an accident with a foreign vehicle, what should I do?

Answer

This information has been reproduced with the kind permission of the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB).

  • If the insurer's name is known check the MIB website for any Green Card Agents who will handle the claim on behalf of the foreign insurer.
  • If the insurer's name is not known, contact the MIB's Green card department on 01908 830001.
  • if the accident involves a foreign lorry, take a note of the registration plate from the front of the lorry (there may be a different number on the trailer) as well as the policy and Green card numbers.
  • For security reasons, we can't reproduce a Green card here, however, the numbered boxes relate as follows:
    3- validity dates
    4 - Green card number
    5 - Registration or chassis number
    6 - Category and make of vehicle

Answer

The police registration scheme ended on 4 August 2022. 
 
You no longer need to register with the UK police after you: 
 
  • arrive in the UK, if you applied for a visa from outside the UK 
  • get permission to stay longer, if you’re already in the UK 
 
If you’ve been told to register with the police, you no longer need to do this, even if you were previously told to. 
 
Although you no longer need to update the police, you still need to tell the Home Office about any change to your personal details.
 
If you have a police registration certificate from prior to August 2022, you should destroy it before throwing it away, for example by shredding it or cutting it into pieces to ensure personal information is protected.

Answer

If you want to stay in the UK as a refugee you must apply for asylum. To be eligible you must have left your country and be unable to go back because you fear persecution. This persecution must be because of:

  • your race
  • your religion
  • your nationality
  • your political opinion
  • anything else that puts you at risk because of the social, cultural, religious or political situation in your country, for example, your gender, gender identity or sexual orientation

You must have failed to get protection from authorities in your own country .

You should claim asylum when you arrive in the UK or as soon as you think it would be unsafe for you to return to your own country. Your application is more likely to be denied if you wait.
