All about blacklisted insurers
You may have heard of it before: the insurance blacklist. It’s a term that’s often used colloquially, but it doesn’t actually exist. At Alpina, we often hear from customers who think they’re on an insurance blacklist. So is the blacklist just a myth? We’ve laid out all the facts for you below!
What is the CIS foundation?
CIS Foundation stands for Central Information System Foundation. They keep all insurance data that is important to share, such as when someone has committed fraud or driven a damage in an uninsured car. Insurers and agents can put this data into the national database. The database aims to make any risks manageable for insurers and prevent fraud as much as possible.

Blacklist insurance or CIS Foundation?
Yes, a list like that is actually a myth. There is no blacklist, but you can have a CIS registration. Insurers can check whether you have a CIS registration and why.
When do I get a CIS registration?
There are several reasons why you might be registered with the CIS Foundation. Let’s take car insurance as an example. You may be registered if you:
- You have a negative number of claim-free years, which has resulted in the termination of your insurance.
- Has been issued a driving disqualification
- Drove into damage with an uninsured car
- Failed to keep agreements with the insurer, resulting in the insurance being terminated
- Committed fraud or misused the insurer in any other way
Of course, this applies not only to auto insurance, but also to scooter insurance and home contents insurance, among others. For example, if you haven’t paid the premium for your home contents insurance and the policy has been canceled by the insurer, you will also be registered. An exception is health insurance. A health insurer is legally required to accept you for the basic health insurance package. They are therefore not allowed to refuse you for this, but they can refuse you for supplemental insurance.
Insurers or authorized agents affiliated with CIS must include a clear reference to this. For example, in their policy terms and conditions, on claims forms, in the privacy statement on their website, or in their consumer information. This way, as a consumer, you know that personal data may be recorded. When canceling an insurance policy, the insurer must also notify you in writing.
How long does a CIS registration last?
How long a CIS record remains on file depends on the type of report. For example, a claim report or a driver’s license suspension is removed after five years. A record of insurance fraud remains in the CIS database for up to eight years. If you are on the list due to a penalty (negative no-claims years), the record remains on file for fifteen months.
Are you registered with CIS? If so, you can submit a request to view your file. You can send a written request by mail, along with a copy of your ID. Unfortunately, if you wish to purchase insurance through Alpina, we cannot request this information on your behalf. Due to privacy laws, insurers are not permitted to provide us with information regarding the contents of your CIS registration.
How to purchase insurance with a CIS registration?
You may find that it’s difficult to purchase insurance if you’re registered in the CIS database. When you try to purchase insurance, the insurer first checks the CIS database to see if you’re registered. If you are, there’s a good chance you won’t be able to purchase the insurance. What can you do if you’re listed in the CIS database but still want to purchase insurance?
Objecting
Do you have a CIS registration, but believe it is incorrect or unjustified? If so, you can submit a request for correction to your insurer through CIS. On the CIS website, you can use a form to indicate which details are incorrect and why you believe this to be the case. CIS will then forward the request to your insurer. However, the insurer may also choose to reject the request, in which case your CIS registration will remain in effect. If you disagree with this decision, you can file a complaint with the insurer’s complaints committee. You also have the option of submitting a complaint to the Financial Services Complaints Institute. The final step is to take your complaint to court.

Car insurance with a CIS registration
Can you still get car insurance if you have a CIS record? If you’re listed in the CIS database, not many insurers will accept you as a policyholder.
