Tunisian Unified Automobile Bureau (BUAT) Announces 4.6 Million Dinars in Compensation to Road Accident Victims
The Tunisian Unified Automobile Bureau (BUAT) has announced that it has paid out 4.6 million dinars in compensation to victims of road accidents involving foreign vehicles in Tunisia during the first half of 2025.
Key Statistics
- 665 compensation files were opened during the first six months of the year, concerning accidents that caused bodily and material damage.
- The compensations are part of the Bureau's missions related to the application of international conventions on insurance certificates (green and orange cards).
- The Bureau manages claims involving foreign vehicles and issues international insurance certificates.
Improving Services and Combating Fraud
To improve services and strengthen the fight against certificate forgery, the Bureau has implemented an electronic system for issuing green and orange cards. A convention has also been signed with the Tunisian Customs to reinforce control over insurance documents at the entrance to the territory and better protect accident victims.
Expansion of Services
The BUAT plans to install orange card distribution points at all 11 land border posts with Libya and Algeria, in coordination with approved insurance intermediaries and the Office of Land Border Posts. The goal is to bring this service closer to Tunisian drivers and improve access to these mandatory documents.
Digitalization Efforts
The digitalization process continues, with the orange card becoming an electronic certificate since 2022. This allows it to be sent, stored, and presented on any digital medium, without the need for printing.
