Certificate of Insurance
A certificate of insurance is a document used to verify an entity is insured. It is written evidence that an insurance policy has been issued, indicating both the amounts and the types of insurance. It is used when general contractors or property owners require subcontractors to provide evidence of insurance.
UCAR’s Risk Management & Insurance Office provides the certificate as proof of insurance.
Examples of situations when evidence of insurance may be required:
• Lease or rental agreements for property, vehicles, or equipment furnished to UCAR/NCAR/UOP.
To request a Certificate or Proof of Insurance submit the request for insurance to UCAR’s Risk Management & Insurance Office.
