A Certificate of Insurance (COI) for artists, crafters, and vendors is an official document from your insurance company. It outlines key information about your policy, including your coverage types, limits, additional insureds, and effective dates.

These certificates were first standardized in the 1970s by the Association for Cooperative Research and Development (ACORD). It helps insurance companies follow a certain template so all COIs look relatively the same and include the same important information.
ACT Insurance offers a Certificate of Insurance to artists who need year-round coverage with our ACT Pro policy and to artists who need short-term vendor coverage with our ACT Go policy.
Common Nicknames for a Certificate of Insurance
✔️ COI
✔️ ACORD form
✔️ Certificate of liability insurance
✔️ Proof of insurance
Your certificate may also display additional things like a waiver of subrogation, primary non-contributory form, or excess liability limits.
Artists and crafters need a COI to show proof of your insured status. It can be used to show a venue, event promoter, property manager, or another business that you have the right insurance protections.
Having a Certificate of Insurance for crafting also means you could be covered for claims like:
❤️🩹 Bodily injury: Your business, booth, or product causes an injury or illness to another party.
🔨 Property damage: Your business, booth, or product causes third-party property damage.
💼 Lawsuits: Your business or product causes an accident that leads to a lawsuit.
📜 Contract breach: Your business fails to deliver a product agreed upon in a contract.
