IASL launches E-Motor Card, donates 500 e-tabs to Police
View(s):At the ceremony, IASL, together with its 13 General Insurance member companies, handed over 500 tablets to the Police Department in support of the rollout of the new Accident Management System, the association said in a media release.
This contribution, made to the Ministry of Public Security and Parliamentary Affairs, represented the industry’s strong commitment to enhancing road safety, improving accident reporting mechanisms, and supporting the efficiency of frontline officers. The tablets were expected to play a crucial role in enabling police officers to record accident data digitally and in real time, reducing the heavy reliance on manual documentation and improving the overall accuracy and speed of accident reporting. By strengthening the digital interface between the insurance sector and law enforcement, the donation aimed to create a more responsive and transparent environment for motorists across the country.
A highlight of the event was the introduction of the E-Motor Card, which replaced the long-established physical motor insurance card. This shift marked a major advancement in the digital transformation of Sri Lanka’s motor insurance ecosystem. The initiative was made possible through the collective efforts of the Insurance Regulatory Commission (IRC), IASL, the Sri Lanka Police, national telecommunication partners, and the Ministry of Digital Economy.
The digital card, accessible through mobile devices, is designed to offer motorists a secure, tamper-resistant, and easily verifiable form of insurance documentation. The move to a digital format will eliminate the inconvenience of misplaced, forged, or damaged physical cards and provide an efficient tool for roadside verification. The tablets donated by the 13 general insurers further supported this initiative by equipping police officers with the technology required to check and validate digital motor insurance details on the spot.
During the event, IASL also announced the upcoming launch of the National Insurance Verification System, which would be operational from March 2026. This system would enable the public to verify the status of motor insurance through a single, simplified code- 2252- available via USSD, SMS, or IVR call. The verification system represented one of the most consumer-centric reforms introduced by the insurance sector, providing motorists with a fast, convenient, and reliable method to confirm their insurance coverage at any time.
“The digitalisation of motor insurance is a major step forward for consumer protection and regulatory oversight. The E-Motor Card and the upcoming National Insurance Verification System will ensure greater transparency, reduce fraud and give motorists confidence in the integrity of their insurance coverage. The IRCSL is proud to support this collaborative effort that advances the country’s national digital agenda.” said Dr. W.A.R. De Mel, Chairman, IRC.
