Certificate of Insurance Forms

When you need to show proof of insurance, Montgomery & Associates has you covered. When you are a contractor or construction company bidding on a new job, you may be asked to show a certificate of insurance (COI) along with certain ranges and limits of coverage.

 

What is a Certificate of Insurance?

COIs are often referred to as certificates of liability insurance. It is documentation provided by your insurance company and contains all the details a potential contracting organization would need, such as insurance company name, coverage limits, policy numbers and dates of expiration.

The government, educational institutions, and large corporations want to do business with vendors who are properly insured against property damage and liability for workplace accidents and injuries. These entities often provide a blank form for the insurance agent to complete.

Examples of insurance documents needed include

Workers’ Compensation Plans

Unemployment Insurance

Liability Insurance
