Proof of No Claims (New Policy)

Bit of a weird one... I bought a new car insurance policy with Admiral which came into force a few days ago. I used Martin's method, and got what I think is a decent price.

I paid for the policy in full and got documents as PDFs. The one weird thing is that they've not asked me to prove my no-claims bonus (3yrs). Can they access that electronically? Previous insurer was Direct Line. I called Admiral to ask and just got nonsensical waffle.

    As above.

    Also the insurance company can ask for proof of NCB at any time during the life of the policy ie if a claim is made against the policy by you or a third party.

    Keep a PDF copy or physical copy for your own peace of mind.

    Thanks guys, I was with the same insurer for several years and didn't have a car for a long time, so somehow this advance has passed me by :)

    They didn't with me......they probably only ask if they can't access it electronically.
