Certificate of Insurance Requests

A certificate of insurance (COI) is a standardized insurance industry form listing the insurance coverages carried by a particular company. It is issued by an insurance broker/agency and contains the broker’s authorized signature. It certifies the types and limits of insurance that an organization has in place for its operations.
Certificates of insurance most commonly are used when two parties enter into a contract, lease, internships or other binding agreement in order to confirm insurance coverage meets the requirements outlined in the contract, lease or agreement. The following information is included on each certificate of insurance:

• • • Insurance company name & address
    • Insurance broker name & address
    • Types of insurance
    • Insurance limits in US dollars
    • Policy numbers
    • Policy term – typically 12 months
    • Can be customized to list the following:
      • • Increase insurance limits from the standard amounts
        • Indicate the other party is a certificate holder
        • Evidence additional insured status (AI)
        • Any special wording or other requirements
