Home › Buying and ownership › Can I Use Temporary Insurance Just After a Private Number Plate Has Changed?
Answer: Possibly, but the policy needs to show the registration that legally applies to the car now.
Do not continue using the old plate in a quote just because an insurer’s system recognises it.
Keep DVLA confirmation of the change and check the certificate before driving.
A correct car with the wrong registration on the insurance can create serious problems.

BriefCover.co.uk does not recommend a particular policy. Check the insurer's eligibility rules, permitted use, exclusions and excess before buying.
