What Is A Certifacte of Insurance?

A Certificate of Insurance is a document that proves you are adequately insured. It is often used to show proof of insurance and help you meet event requirements.

These certificates were first standardized in the 1970s by the Association for Cooperative Research and Development (ACORD). It helps insurance companies follow a certain template so all COIs look relatively the same and include the same important information. 

ACT Insurance offers a Certificate of Insurance to artists who need year-round coverage with our ACT Pro policy and to artists who need short-term vendor coverage with our ACT Go policy.
