The Department for Transport does not have the statistics for the number of Green cards requested and issued to date. This is because the Government is not responsible for issuing Green Cards. They are issued directly by companies that provide vehicle insurance to their policy holders.

Motorists in the UK should contact their vehicle insurer who will be able to provide them with advice on their Insurance Green Card requirements and issue them with the relevant documentation.

The advice from the Association of British Insurers is that motorists should contact their insurers a month before they plan on travelling.
