Certificates of Insurance

I'm not a big fan of certificates of insurance.  They are, I think, a document of false impressions.  They are not a guarantee of coverage.



A cert tells the recipient that an insurance policy was probably in force on the day the certificate was issued.  Little is known from the certificate the nature of the coverage - we don't know the exclusions, endorsements, amendments or definitions.  Next time someone hands you a certificate of insurance read the disclaimers (front and back).



Are certificates really worth the effort?
