COI Missing Additional Insured

What this means

The certificate does not clearly show Additional Insured status or supporting language.

This can delay vendor approval, project start, tenant move-in, or contractor onboarding.

Why it matters

A Certificate of Insurance is usually reviewed before a vendor starts work. If required information is missing, expired, unclear, or below the required limit, the document may need to be corrected before approval.

What to check

Review:

  • Named Insured
  • Policy dates
  • Coverage row
  • Policy limits
  • Certificate Holder
  • Description of Operations
  • Additional Insured indicators
  • Waiver of Subrogation indicators
  • Authorized representative signature

Sample correction email
