MOTOR INSURERS' BUREAU OF IRELAND

The Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland (MIBI) is a statutory body set up in 1955 through an agreement between the Government and the companies that underwrite motor insurance in Ireland. Its core mission is to ensure that victims of road-traffic accidents caused by uninsured or unidentified vehicles receive prompt and fair compensation.

MIBI delivers a range of specialist services to support both claimants and insurers. It operates a dedicated claims pathway, provides access to the Irish Motor Insurance Database (covering third-party liability and non-fleet drivers) and manages driver-number verification. The bureau also maintains the Irish Motor Compensation Body for insolvency matters, offers a secure membership area with a full list of member insurers, and facilitates the checking of insurance details through its online platform. By coordinating MIBI agreements and overseeing the compensation process, the organisation plays a vital role in reducing uninsured driving and protecting road-traffic victims across the country.
