Assuming that your broker or insurance company hasn't forgotten to enter
them, of course. Same for the MOT now that's all on computer, too.

Is that any different from them either not sending the certificate or it
getting delayed/lost in the post? Which are rather more likely than it not
being entered in the 'system'.

TPTB claim it's the driver's fault if they don't spot a missing online
entry. It's much easier to spot a missing insurance certificate in the
post, or a missing MOT certificate when you pick your car up from the
garage.
