Policy Details
Policy number, original effective and expiration dates, coverage type, and limits so the insurer can match the request to the correct record and prior endorsements.
A complete, accurate application speeds underwriting decisions, reduces the chance of denial, and limits coverage gaps. Proper documentation protects both the applicant and insurer by establishing the facts that govern when and how coverage resumes.
The form is used by primary parties involved in restoring a lapsed insurance policy.
Each party has a distinct role: applicants supply facts, agents manage submission, and insurers complete underwriting and final approval.

Amount of back premium, any reinstatement fees, payment method, and whether a surcharge or penalty applies if permitted by the policy or state law.
