Form Title
Use a clear heading such as Insurance SSL Declination Form that identifies the type of consent being declined and links to the related policy number or account.
A clear declination form creates a record that the insurer offered secure electronic delivery and the insured declined, protecting both parties from later dispute and satisfying ESIGN/UETA consent expectations.
Insurers, agents, producers, and policyholders use this form when electronic delivery, secure portals, or SSL-protected channels are offered but declined by the insured.
Keep a signed copy in the policy file and note the decision in the account history so future communications follow the chosen delivery method.
Use a clear heading such as Insurance SSL Declination Form that identifies the type of consent being declined and links to the related policy number or account.
Include policy number, insured name, and contact details so the declination is tied to a single account and can be retrieved during audits or customer service inquiries.
Record that the insurer offered electronic delivery and SSL-secured transmission, describe the secure option briefly, and note that the insured declined that option.
Provide a signature block for the insured or authorized representative with printed name, title if applicable, signature, and the signing date to establish intent.
Specify which documents or channels the declination applies to (billing, policy notices, claims communications) and whether it is temporary or ongoing.
State where the signed form will be stored and who to contact to later revoke or change the decision; include a reference to record retention policy.
