I had a similar problem a while back and was told ASKMID takes a while (several days) to update.

Carry a copy of your insurance cert with you for a week or two.

That's what I do when I go on holiday by car. Saves a lot of hassle should I need it.

My car is now showing as being insured - 2 days late.but better late than never.

Upgrade at weekend caused files not to populate the database apparently.

The police won't believe a printed out certificate insurance certificate anymore these days. It's too easy for someone to produce a false one.

They will always phone the insurance company whatever anyone might happen to produce.

Nothing unusual about this. I've had a number of issues with my cars not showing as insured on ASKMID. When I phone my insurance company the reply is always that I'm insured but that it takes a few days for ASKMID to update.

Sometimes the problem is at renewal time, other times it's when I change cars. Despite the fact the insurance companies tell you that you have an overlap period on the day you change cars, they only have one showing as insured on ASKMID.

Shouldn't be like this. changes on computer system should be instant.

The other website with the same issue is the vehicle enquiry website. Despite the fact that you tax a car on the dealers computer (before driving away) it doesn't show as being taxed for 4 or 5 days. However when you tell the DVLA online that you are transferring ownership of a vehicle, its status changes from Taxed to Untaxed in less than a minute!

As a trader I often checked ASKMID to see if cars I took into stock had been added by my trade insurer who I notified by email when I bought or sold them, it often took several days for them to appear or be removed.
