How it works

Certificate reading

  1. 1

    A certificate arrives

    Uploaded by the person you asked, their agent, or you.

  2. 2

    Collateral reads it

    It pulls out each policy on the certificate and what the certificate says for you as the holder.

  3. 3

    You glance and confirm

    Values it's less sure of are marked for review. Correct anything with a click.

Certificate reading

The details

  • Every policy on the certificate

    General liability, auto, workers comp, umbrella, professional liability and other lines, each with its carrier, number, dates and limits.

  • What it says for you

    The certificate holder, and whether it indicates Additional Insured, Waiver of Subrogation and Primary and Noncontributory.

  • Honest about uncertainty

    Anything Collateral isn't confident about is marked for review instead of guessed.

  • Corrections never lose the original

    Your edits are kept separately from what Collateral read, so you can always see both.

  • Renewals recognized

    A new certificate for the same policy updates it; a renewal becomes the next term.

  • Anything it can't read, by hand

    If Collateral can't read a certificate, or you've used this month's automatic reads, the file is kept on file and you enter the details yourself.

Stop retyping certificates.

25 certificate reads a month on the free plan, plus your whole starting roster.
