What Is an eCoverNote?

Just as the original physical copy, an Ecovernote is just a digital version of the document issued by the insurer after purchase and policy is active.

  • Temporary policy number
  • Vehicle owner’s name and registration number
  • Coverage start and end dates
  • Insurance company name

  • If authorities verify your insurance, the eCoverNote proves your coverage is still valid.

Validity Period of the eCoverNote

Generally, an eCoverNote is valid for 7 days from the policy start date.
