• The Green Card certificate certifies that the car has a motor vehicle liability insurance policy valid in the country of destination.

2. Countries that require the Green Card:

• European Union (all member states).
• Other countries that have joined the international insurance system (e.g., Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom).
