A Certificate of Insurance (CID) is a document issued by an insurance company that verifies the coverage and limits of an insurance policy.

Obtaining a CID is typically a simple process:
1. What does "additional insured" mean on a CID?
Additional insured refers to a third party who is covered under an insurance policy in addition to the primary insured.
2. Can I use a CID from my personal insurance policy for business purposes?
No, personal insurance policies typically do not provide coverage for business activities. You should obtain a separate commercial insurance policy and CID for business-related risks.
3. How often should I update my CID?
CIDs should be updated annually to reflect changes in coverage or policy limits.
4. What should I do if I lose my CID?
Contact your insurance company immediately to request a duplicate copy.
5. Is a CID the same as an insurance policy?
No, a CID is only a summary of coverage and does not constitute the actual insurance policy. The policy document provides the full details and conditions of the insurance contract.
6. What is the difference between a COI and a CLUE report?
A Certificate of Insurance (COI) verifies insurance coverage, while a Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange (CLUE) report provides a history of insurance claims and losses.

Contact your insurance agent or broker to discuss your insurance needs and request a CID. By providing proof of adequate coverage, you can demonstrate your commitment to safety, reduce liability, and build trust with third parties.
