What the checker reviews

One upload gives you a structured review of the most common COI issues:

  • Policy effective and expiration dates
  • General Liability limits
  • Commercial Auto limits
  • Workers’ Compensation coverage
  • Umbrella / Excess Liability
  • Certificate Holder details
  • Additional Insured wording
  • Waiver of Subrogation indicators
  • Missing or incomplete fields

Get an answer you can act on

Instead of a spreadsheet note or a long email thread, you get a simple result:

PASS — the certificate appears to meet your selected requirements.

FAIL — one or more requirements are missing, expired, or below your minimum limits.

NEEDS REVIEW — the certificate contains unclear language, missing endorsements, or information that should be confirmed with the broker or carrier.

Built for quick vendor checks

Use the COI Checker when a vendor, contractor, subcontractor, tenant, or service provider sends you a certificate and you need to know what is missing before they start work.

What file types can I upload?

The checker is designed for PDF Certificates of Insurance, including common ACORD 25-style forms.

Can I use it for one certificate only?

Yes. The product is designed for quick one-off checks as well as repeated vendor reviews.
