The COI verifies the existence of an insurance policy and summarizes the key aspects and conditions of the policy. For example, a standard COI lists the policyholder's name, the policy's effective date, the type of coverage, policy limits, and other important details of the policy.

Certificates of insurance are completely free, so you can provide proof of insurance at no cost to anyone who needs to see it. Just make sure your policy is active and you're up to date on your insurance cost payments.

While a certificate of insurance denotes a formal policy, an insurance binder doesn't guarantee long-term coverage. These binders serve as temporary certificates of insurance while you wait for your policy to be issued. You will be asked to update this document with a certificate of insurance once you've received it.

From your insurance company: Most insurers have physical offices you can visit. Talk to a representative who can guide you through getting car insurance and provide your certificate.

If you're wondering how to get an insurance certificate, you can either work with your insurance provider to issue a certificate for a policy of your own or send a COI request to the party you need verification from to work with their insurance provider to do so.

In most cases, you can get your documents by contacting your insurer directly and asking them to send your insurance certificate either via email or post. You may also want to consider sending them an insurance questionnaire to fill out on your behalf.
