Europolis is a mandatory insurance for cars in Europe without European number plates.
Europolis, also known as the Green Card, is a mandatory insurance required to drive a car in Europe. Europolis provides liability coverage for any driver driving the insured car in the event of an accident. The term "Europolis" was introduced to avoid confusion when applying for it.
Europolis is necessary because the agreement on mutual recognition of Green Cards between the EU and Russia has not been extended, and from May 31, 2023, the Russian Green Card is not valid in the countries of the European Union. Therefore, drivers planning a trip to Europe need to obtain Europolis.
If you continue to use a Russian Green Card after May 31, 2023, and you are stopped by the police in a country that has withdrawn from the agreement, you may be fined for not having mandatory insurance. In addition, if an insured event occurs after May 31, 2023, the insurance company that issued the Russian Green Card will not cover the costs of compensation. This is why it is recommended to issue a Europolis.
The Europolice is issued electronically and does not require the original on a strict reporting form. The policy is sent to the applicant's e-mail and must be printed. It must be carried in the car during its validity period.
The Europolice can be issued for cars not only with Russian registration, but also with registration in other countries.
