Will undeclared points on a licence invalidate our insurance claim on a stolen car?

My car has recently been stolen and my partner has three points which she failed to tell me about. The insurance want codes for her licence as she’s a named driver and i’m worried this will invalidate my claim?

It will not invalidate your claim. Unless something is directly linked to the theft, they cannot invalidate, i.e something like leaving your keys in the ignition, or you told them it was garaged at night, but you do not have a garage. They may increase the premium though to take her points into consideration.
