When do you need confirmation of cover?
Before your bank approves finance for a home you are looking to purchase, they will want confirmation that you can obtain insurance for it. This ensures the security (your home) they will use for the loan can be protected.

Already purchased the property?
Then you’re probably looking for a ‘Certificate of Insurance’. This is a document that proves your cover is in place once you’ve purchased a policy. It’s also known as a Certificate of Currency. Banks and finance companies often ask for one when you apply for a mortgage or loan or when you are wanting to draw on the loan. Learn how to get a Certificate of Insurance here.
