# eCherha to Auto-Check Green Card Insurance from May 12, 2026

11.05.2026 13:00    eCherha

From **May 12, 2026**, Ukraine's **eCherha** online border queue system will automatically verify whether a valid **Green Card** insurance certificate is in place when drivers book a crossing slot. The feature was developed together with Ukraine's Motor (Transport) Insurance Bureau (MTIBU).

##### What changes for drivers:

During booking, the system checks the insurance status for the exact vehicle linked to the queue slot. The coverage status is shown in the driver's personal account.

- **No certificate found:** you get a notification but can still complete the booking.
- **Policy not yet active:** the slot stays valid until it reaches the "Entering" status at the checkpoint.
- **No valid insurance at entry:** the queue record is cancelled automatically.

##### Why it matters:

A Green Card is mandatory for all commercial transport — **buses and trucks**. A missing certificate is grounds for refusal of crossing, and after an accident abroad it can mean large costs. A policy takes effect no earlier than the day after issuance, because the data must be entered into MTIBU's central database.

The feature targets a common problem: insurance bought right before departure that has not yet taken effect on arrival. Check your status in advance and follow queue updates on the [eCherha booking updates page](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-04-20/echerha-expands-online-booking-cars-trucks-buses).
