What’s a Certificate of Liability Insurance?

Also referred to as an ACORD certificate of insurance (after the nonprofit that provides the standardized form used by most insurers), Certificate of Insurance, or a COI for short, a Certificate of Liability Insurance is a physical or digital document that indicates you have an active general liability, professional liability, workers’ compensation, or other policy. It also provides a summary of the coverage. Organizations or individuals your company works with may require that you produce a Certificate of Liability Insurance as proof of liability insurance. This reassures them that if an incident like an injury or property damage occurs, your insurance will cover it and their risk will be minimized.

What Does a Certificate of Liability Insurance Cost?

The COI for any biBerk business liability insurance policy you have is absolutely free! We want you to have the documentation you need to prove you’ve got great coverage. By default, a COI indicates the name of your insurance company (biBerk), the named insured (your organization), your coverage amounts and limits, the policy’s effective date, and other basic information. And, if you need an additional insured on your COI, we’re happy to take care of that for you. A COI may be required by an entity or individual with whom you work directly, but it may also be requested as part of an indirect relationship.

What’s an Example of Needing a Certificate of Liability Insurance?

If you’re a cooking instructor who teaches clients at a commercial kitchen, the owner or operator of that facility might request proof of liability insurance coverage and may ask to be noted on the certificate as an additional insured. Making them an additional insured indicates that they also have the right to make a claim against the liability insurance policy. That way, if your client sues both you and the facility owner, the owner is protected from the lawsuit by your policy.
