Item Description
Provide a detailed description including make, model, manufacturer, material, dimensions, serial numbers, and any distinguishing marks. Accurate descriptions improve valuation accuracy and reduce processing delays.
Use an Insurance Valuables Application to document and substantiate value for underwriting, endorsements, and claims. Accurate itemization reduces disputes, helps set appropriate limits, and supports compliance with ESIGN and UETA when signed electronically, improving auditability and record retention.
Primary users include policyholders, insurance agents, and appraisers who need verifiable records of high-value items for coverage decisions.
Completed applications become part of the policy record and assist in claims settlement and loss prevention measures.
A policyholder completes the application to list items for scheduled coverage, supplying receipts, serial numbers, and photographs. Accurate submission reduces claim disputes. The owner signs to attest to ownership and condition; identity verification may be required.
An agent assists in completing item details, coordinates appraisals, and submits the application to underwriting for endorsements. Agents verify appraisal credentials and may recommend limits. They retain copies in the policy file for audit and claims support.
Provide a detailed description including make, model, manufacturer, material, dimensions, serial numbers, and any distinguishing marks. Accurate descriptions improve valuation accuracy and reduce processing delays.
Attach professional appraisals or invoices showing current market value, appraisal date, appraiser name, and license where applicable. State whether replacement cost or fair market value applies.
Include high-resolution color photos from multiple angles showing serial numbers, hallmarks, and condition. Date-stamp images or include metadata when possible to support provenance.
Document purchase receipts, certificates of authenticity, prior ownership history, and restoration records. Provenance strengthens proof of value and can affect coverage terms.
List regular storage location, security measures, and whether items are transported. Location details affect risk rating and premium calculation.
Space for owner, agent, and appraiser signatures with dates. When signed electronically, include audit trail metadata per ESIGN and UETA.
