What if names do not match?

If contractor legal name and TIN/EIN do not match, expect verification delays. Update the form to reflect the registered business name exactly as shown on tax or licensing documents.

Is an electronic signature acceptable?

Electronic signatures are legally valid under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96, 2000) and UETA in most jurisdictions, provided intent, consent, attribution, and record retention requirements are met.

Do I need a notary or witnesses?

Most contractor support forms do not require notarization; state-specific documents may. Check state rules for deeds or powers of attorney; some states like Florida require two witnesses for certain records.

How to submit supporting documents?

Attach PDFs of COI, license, and W-9 to the form; ensure files are legible and searchable to support automated ingestion and faster verification.

What happens if COI expires?

Expired certificates may pause approvals. Provide current policy evidence or a binder/endorsement showing coverage effective dates to avoid work stoppage.

How long will processing take?

Processing typically ranges from 3 to 15 business days depending on verification complexity, attachments provided, and insurer workload; incomplete forms increase turnaround time.
