What does the test result mean?
✅ The insurance is valid – The car has valid mandatory insurance. You will see the name of the insurance company. This means that if you are involved in an accident with this car, your damages will be covered through the insurer.

If it is your own car, contact your insurance company immediately and renew your policy—this will help you avoid a fine and potential financial losses.
