A Certificate of Insurance is an official form used to verify that your insurance policy includes what you’re looking for in terms of coverage. Your insurance agent will ask you to sign a format specified by the policy they’re selling you.
A Certificate also plays a critical role in recording the terms and conditions of any insurance agreement. An insurance certificate is basically a declaration of the coverage you’ve purchased and the coverage options outlined.
