All insurance companies operating in Greece are obliged to update the Hellenic Information Centre (an organizational unit of the Insurance Guarantee Fund of Liability from Car Accidents), with the fleet of vehicles that have been insured.

The process is simple and completed directly on the website of the Information Centre www.hic.gr, pressing the tab
“Is your vehicle insured? Check it now!”.
Run the Vehicle Registration Number (number plate) and VAT Registration Number through the service, and you will confirm policy details, duration of cover and the insurer.

The legislation foresees the State’s obligation to locate uninsured vehicles through electronic documentation checks on circulating and insured vehicles.
These checks are carried out by the State at any time, directly and electronically, to all vehicles in circulation. In case of detecting an uninsured vehicle, fines are applied to the owners of the vehicles through the Tax Authority.
