Certificates of Insurance / Proof of Insurance

What is a Certificate of Insurance?

A certificate of insurance is a document used to provide information on specific insurance coverage. The certificate provides verification of the insurance and usually contains information on types and limits of coverage, insurance company, policy number, named insured, and the policies’ effective periods.

Although the certificate should not be substituted for information contained in the actual insurance policies, it is usually a reliable source of information or proof of insurance coverage.

Certificates are usually requested by opposite parties in an agreement, contract, or transaction to make certain the other party has the appropriate insurance coverage.

If you are looking for information on what a certificate from a vendor or third party should include, please see our section on Insurance Third Party.

College departments requiring evidence of insurance and additional insured coverage for third parties should follow the procedures for their institution.
