The Insurance Auto Application Form is completed by prospective policyholders, insurance agents, and sometimes vehicle dealers or fleet managers when applying for coverage.

The individual whose name and information appear as the primary insured. This signer attests to the truthfulness of statements, authorizes background checks, and is normally responsible for premium payments and policy compliance.
