COI request email generator
Need a certificate of insurance from a sub or vendor? Fill in the form and get a clear, polite email, subject line included, that lists the coverage and limits you need, asks for the endorsements behind any additional insured or waiver of subrogation requirement, and spells out the certificate holder exactly. Copy it into your own email.
Nothing you type is saved. The email is built on this page (or by our server if JavaScript is off) and shown only to you. We don't store or log what you enter.
Why ask for the endorsement? A checked "ADDL INSD" or "SUBR WVD" box on a certificate isn't the endorsement itself, and the certificate confers no rights on its own. Read additional insured vs certificate holder for what to check.
Tired of sending these by hand?
GreenlightSubs sends the request and the reminders for you. Each vendor gets an email with a no-login link to upload their certificate, with reminders 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before it expires (the default schedule, which you can change), then weekly for a few weeks after it has expired. You review each upload and approve it. GreenlightSubs doesn't check coverage or endorsements with the insurer; that stays your call. Free for up to 5 vendors, no card.
This tool writes a request; it isn't legal or insurance advice. Your contract decides what coverage, limits and endorsements you need.
