Legally no insurance is present if the reg is wrong but call them to update it and the moment you put the phone down you can legally drive

May have been a typo - is the car details correct and does askmid show your vehicle as insured?

To be honest I wouldn't drive it though until it's been confirmed with your insurance company.

This happened to me years ago now, all details were correct to the t except for a typo on the reg and I got done for an in10 no insurance.

Finally appealed it till I was blue in the face and proved it was the insurance providers error but wow was it a pain in the backside, my recommendation is avoid the hassle make a quick call notify them of the error get it corrected then job done, you don't have to wait for your documents and if you want peace if mind get a cover note emailed to you

Legally it's the owners job to check paperwork hence you will get done if driven and flag up on anpr, phone insurers and amend it so it updates the database.

No you are not and it will get flagged up by an ANPR camera as it happened to me a year or 2 back, Phone the ins company any they will amend it and send you a new cover note

Check ASKMID and see for yourself but ill have a bet it will come up with a no
