The named insured or authorized representative must sign attestations, certifications, and fraud warnings; signatures show intent and consent under ESIGN (15 U.S.C. ch. 96). The signer should be the person with primary control of the vehicle or an authorized agent.
Licensed agents sign agency attestations and producer sections. Agent signatures confirm submission accuracy and authorize binding when the carrier permits agent-issued binders under agency appointment rules.
