Documents required to purchase temporary insurance

Registration document, driving license, proof of address or purchase invoice (in the case of a crossed-out registration document): here are all the documents you need to prepare to easily take out temporary insurance.

Purchasing temporary insurance may seem simple... until you have to gather all the required supporting documents. Registration documents, driving licence, proof of residence... it's not always easy to prepare quickly. In this article, I'll present all the essential documents to ensure a smooth purchase, whatever your vehicle or situation.

What are "necessary documents"?

The required documents allow the insurer to verify the driver's identity, the vehicle's compliance, and your ability to obtain legal coverage. They vary slightly depending on the type of vehicle or your profile, but certain supporting documents are absolutely essential for obtaining temporary insurance—as demonstrated by KT Tempo's terms and conditions.

Essential documents to prepare

Registration card or provisional certificate

  • The registration document proves that the vehicle is registered. It is mandatory, even in temporary form, for taking out temporary insurance.

Valid driver's license

  • You must present a valid license , often required for at least two years, depending on the type of vehicle and the situation.

Certificate of no claims (depending on profile)

  • A certificate of absence of claims may be requested, particularly for drivers who have had their insurance terminated or have had a penalty.

Other documents sometimes required (specific cases)

Proof of address or residence

  • Often required for vehicles used abroad or for temporary stays (e.g. in Europe), where proof of local residency may be required.

Green card (European insurance)

  • When traveling in Europe, you will receive a multilingual green card to keep in case of an inspection.

Case of crossed out registration card or registration delay

  • If the registration document has been barred for more than 180 days , or is awaiting registration, a recent purchase invoice may be sufficient to be eligible for insurance.

Why are these documents essential?

  • Ensure legal compliance : allow the insurer to verify identity, driving rights, vehicle location, etc.
  • Legal certainty : any omission or false declaration may result in the contract being void in the event of a claim.
  • Make subscription easier : with a complete file, you get quick coverage without having to return any documents.
