Generally, a client will request a COI directly from your insurance company to confirm you have appropriate insurance coverage. If you are hiring a contractor, consider getting a COI from their insurance company, even if you have worked with them before, because their coverage may have changed.
Short answer: Nope. Longer answer: Any changes to coveragelike listing someone as Additional Insured or modifying coverage datesmust be endorsed by your insurance company first. That endorsement becomes part of your policy, and only after that can a new COI reflecting the change be created.
Be sure to send all the new contract requirements to your agent so they can assess the requirements. If the policy fits the requirements, it should take less than a day, however if the policies do not match then this process can take up to 3-4 days until you receive the new certificate.
A COI is used to verify that a company has the appropriate insurance coverage in place. This can be especially important for businesses that work with government agencies or other organizations that require coverage verification. Peace of mind.
Both businesses and individuals ask for certificates of insurance. They do so in order to verify that someone has an adequate amount of insurance coverage in place to protect their business and assets.

When Should I Get a Certificate of Insurance? You should ask for and receive a COI before anyone works on your home or property. If you have a written contract, it should contain insurance requirements, including coverage and limits required, that are verified with a COI.
