By introducing compulsory insurance for car owners, the state attempted to simplify the resolution of some of the problems associated with compensation for damage in road traffic accidents. This method really helped in many controversial situations. However, at the same time there were fraudsters who decided to cash in on not always fully informed citizens.

Insurance companies prefer to delegate part of the work to hired agents. These people do not always have their own office or a permanent place to register transactions. Sometimes they work in parallel with other organizations. At the same time, they have a considerable number of strict reporting forms and unfilled policies.

Theoretically, such documents can be stolen, and then distributed illegally to car owners. Therefore, the latter have a legitimate question about how to check the insurance policy of CTP for authenticity, so as not to be deceived.
