Green Card Insurance: Activation Time

CRITICAL: Green Card Activation Timing

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

When does it become active?
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
  • Use your existing policy (if not expired)
  • NOT recommended: buying at border kiosk (too late)
This is not a technical error — it's an EU insurance law.
Plan one day ahead! Without valid Green Card you cannot cross the border.
