The check is completely free and takes only seconds. Just enter the vehicle’s license plate number (Latin or Cyrillic) in our form. The system makes a real-time lookup in the Information Center of the Guarantee Fund (GF).
In Bulgaria, the MoI (MVR) cameras and the Toll system already automatically detect vehicles without valid Third-Party Liability insurance. Even if you have paid your policy, there may be a technical delay in reflecting it in the registry, which could lead to an automatic electronic fine notice.
Penalties depend on whether the owner is an individual or a legal entity and whether it is a repeat violation:
- BGN 250 – for individuals (first violation)
- BGN 800 – for individuals (repeat violation)
- BGN 2,000 – property sanction for legal entities (company vehicles)
Yes. Our reminder service is available to all drivers. You can enter your email and the policy expiry date, and we will notify you 15, 7, and 1 day before your policy becomes invalid.
Typically, it takes between 15 minutes and 24 hours for a new policy to appear in the Guarantee Fund database. If after this period the insurance is still not visible, contact your insurer or broker.
In addition to the monetary fine, the vehicle’s registration is automatically suspended in the MoI (MVR) records. This means the vehicle status becomes “stopped from circulation,” and during a physical roadside check by Traffic Police, the registration document may be confiscated.

First, make sure you entered the license plate correctly. If everything is correct, check whether you have paid the next installment of your policy. With installment payments, the insurance is automatically terminated at 24:00 on the due date specified for the installment.
No. There is no grace period for Third-Party Liability insurance. The moment your policy expires, you are in violation and you carry full financial responsibility in case of an accident.

Yes, our system supports checks for all types of vehicles with Bulgarian registration—cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses, and trailers.
Third-Party Liability insurance is valid across the European Union. If the check shows an active policy, you have coverage within the EU, but for some non-EU countries you should verify whether your “Green Card” certificate is valid for that country (i.e., the country code is not crossed out).
The information is updated in real time through connections to official registries. However, technical delays can occur when new policies are issued or changes are recorded (usually between 15 minutes and 24 hours), so if you see a mismatch, it’s best to wait and check again.
