Policy Details
Include insurer name, carrier NAIC number if available, original policy number and renewal policy number. State the exact risk or asset covered to avoid ambiguity in future claims or audits.
Use an Insurance Renewal Confirmation to document continuous coverage, clarify premium and endorsement changes, and reduce disputes about effective dates or limits. A signed confirmation establishes intent and a retrievable record that meets electronic record rules under ESIGN and most state UETA statutes.
Common users include brokers, risk managers, underwriters, and insureds who need clear proof of renewal and coverage terms.
Confirmations are used during audits, claims, contract renewals, and when a third party requires formal proof of coverage.
Include insurer name, carrier NAIC number if available, original policy number and renewal policy number. State the exact risk or asset covered to avoid ambiguity in future claims or audits.
Specify renewal effective date and expiration date using MM/DD/YYYY format. Note any retroactive coverage, inception hour or pro rata adjustments that affect the period of insured exposure or premium calculation.
List the total premium, installment terms, payment due date, and any fees or surcharges. Indicate who is responsible for payment, whether premium finance arrangements apply, and late payment consequences.
Attach or reference current endorsements and exclusions that change coverage scope. Note endorsement effective dates and any conditions or endorsements that will be added upon renewal or require separate execution.
Identify signers by printed name, title, and capacity. If signing electronically, record the method of signature and retain an audit trail to satisfy ESIGN and UETA attribution and intent requirements.
Provide broker or agent contact, address, email, and phone. Include claims reporting instructions, claim contact hours, and any additional parties that should receive proof of coverage.
