A certificate of insurance is a document used to verify an entity is insured. Outside parties often request Duke to confirm various types and levels of insurance in connection with business agreements. Business units can submit a Request for a Certificate of Insurance to Corporate Risk Management who will provide the certificate as proof of insurance.
Evidence of insurance may be required for situations such as lease or rental agreements for property, vehicles, or equipment furnished to the University.
