Motor insurance: electronic inter-Arab card format

The electronic system of the international insurance card between Arab countries came into effect on 1 April 2022. This initiative follows the launch of the electronic orange card system by the General Arab Insurance Federation (GAIF).

Both formats (paper and electronic) will be used during the transitional period which will come to a close on 30 June 2022.

The electronic solution aims at facilitating travel between Arab countries, facilitating the claims processing and preventing the forgery of insurance certificates.

It should be recalled that the Orange Card Convention was signed in Tunis in 1975. It is applied in 20 Arab countries.
