HE Insurance Association of Jamaica (IAJ) will be rolling out next month its Insurance Vehicle Information System (IVIS), which it says will significantly aid the sifting out of uninsured motor vehicles from the nation’s roads.

IVIS is a database of all the vehicles that are insured in Jamaica. This unique motor insurance database in Jamaica will allow the Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) and the police to establish the insurance status of a vehicle without requesting physical documents from drivers.

This process will reduce the amount of people driving vehicles with fraudulent insurance documents, thus exposing motorists and pedestrians to uninsured vehicles.

IAJ President Vernon James explained that in due course the IVIS system will facilitate a digital process to get vehicles licensed with the TAJ.
