What is a Certificate of Insurance?

A Certificate of Insurance (COI) is a document issued by an insurance company that summarizes a policyholder's coverage, including the type of insurance, coverage limits, and the policy's effective dates. It serves as proof that a vendor or outside party carries active insurance that meets SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½'s standards.

A COI is not a contract and does not modify the terms of any insurance policy. It simply confirms that coverage exists and is currently in force.
