Digital Green Card: officially valid from 2025

From 1 January 2025, Green Card insurance certificates can be kept and shown as an electronic PDF, on any device (phone, tablet, laptop and so on). The change was set by decisions of the National Bureau of Motor Vehicle Insurers (BNAA) and follows the international rules of the Council of Bureaux (CoB).

What does this mean for drivers?

• The Green Card policy is valid on paper, as well as in digital form (PDF).
• The policyholder chooses whichever format is more convenient.
• You can keep it on any device (there are no restrictions on the operating system).
• Documents filled in by hand are no longer accepted.

Are there any exceptions?

According to the official notice, the authorities in Lithuania, Luxembourg and Portugal have not yet confirmed whether they accept the digital format. So:

We recommend printing the policy and keeping a paper copy, especially when you travel to these countries, or in case of an emergency (a flat battery, a lost phone and so on).
