Green Card Insurance: Activation Time

CRITICAL: Green Card Activation Timing

Green Card is mandatory vehicle insurance for all cars. Important to know:

Insurance purchased TODAY will only become active TOMORROW at 00:00.

This rule applies to all types of purchase:

  • Online purchase (active tomorrow)
  • Insurance company office (active tomorrow)
  • Kiosk near the border (active tomorrow)

What to do?

  • Buy Green Card 1-2 days before your trip online

Plan one day ahead! Without valid Green Card you cannot cross the border.

User Reviews

Shehyni checkpoint experiences highly variable conditions with significant wait time fluctuations. Reviews reveal a stark contrast between peak and off-peak periods. During busy times, particularly in summer and around holidays, pedestrians report waiting 3-7 hours, with one user noting a 5-hour wait and another standing since 3 PM. However, during quieter periods, the same crossing takes just 20-30 minutes. Polish border officers conduct thorough manual baggage inspections, which contributes to slower processing times. Users report that early morning hours (around 7-9 AM) and specific times like June offer significantly better throughput, with queues moving quickly even with 60-70 people present. The checkpoint experienced occasional system issues, with at least one report of the system freezing for pedestrians with a 20-minute wait time. Success stories include crossing both borders in 7 minutes when there were no queues, and reaching Polish territory in just 30 minutes during low-traffic periods. Travelers should consider visiting early morning or off-peak seasons to minimize wait times.
