As Additional Insured Form
Use a As Additional Insured template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What an additional insured form does
An As Additional Insured Form records a request to extend liability insurance protection to another person or organization under an existing policy. The policyholder identifies the additional insured, the covered relationship, applicable operations, and requested coverage details; the insurer or authorized agent then reviews and issues the endorsement or certificate required by the contract. In U.S. business transactions, the form supports proof of insurance but does not itself change coverage. The actual policy, endorsement wording, exclusions, limits, and state law control the protection provided.
Business types that use the form
The form is most useful where contracts require proof that a separate party is identified under a liability policy before work, occupancy, or service delivery begins.
Independent contractors use As Additional Insured Form requests to provide property owners and general contractors with documented insurance information before entering a project or lease-related engagement. Regional construction companies use templates and delegated sending to collect additional insured requests across subcontractors, job sites, policy periods, and project-specific certificate requirements. Enterprise procurement and risk teams use controlled signNow workflows to route vendor insurance requests, preserve approvals, and connect completed records with contract or ERP systems.
These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.
Features that fit insurance requests
As Additional Insured Form workflows benefit from structured fields, controlled routing, reusable templates, and an auditable record of each insurance approval.
Structured details
Capture the named additional insured, policyholder, project, location, and requested coverage information in one controlled document instead of exchanging disconnected email instructions with brokers or contract teams.
Field detection
Upload the insurance form to signNow and use auto-detection to identify fillable areas, reducing manual placement work before sending the request to the appropriate parties.
Role-based routing
Send the completed request to policyholders, brokers, or contract representatives by email or signing link, with each recipient assigned only the fields they must review or sign.
Audit trail
Preserve signer identity, timestamps, actions, and the completed document in an audit trail that supports later review of the insurance request and approval history.
Reusable templates
Use templates for recurring subcontractor, lease, or vendor insurance requests while updating project-specific names, addresses, policy details, and coverage requirements before each send.
Mobile signing
Complete the form from a desktop or mobile device, allowing project teams and insurance contacts to review and sign without arranging an in-person exchange.

Troubleshooting an additional insured request
Resolve field, signing, plan, authentication, and record-handling questions before sending an As Additional Insured Form to an insurer or contract counterparty.
Upload the completed insurance form to signNow, use auto-detection to place fields, and confirm every party’s email before sending. Business includes templates and audit trails; completed records can support ESIGN and UETA evidence requirements when intent, consent, attribution, and retention are established.
The Business plan includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, mobile apps, and audit trails. Business Premium adds bulk send, while Enterprise adds advanced signer authentication. Select the plan based on volume and control requirements rather than assuming every plan includes the same features.
An electronic signature can support an insurance request under ESIGN and applicable state law when the signer demonstrates intent, consents to electronic records, and the record remains reproducible. Confirm that the insurer, broker, contract, and state requirements do not require a different execution method.
Use signNow’s signer authentication options, including SMS-based verification where configured, and verify the recipient’s identity before sending. For higher-risk insurance documentation, retain the completed form and audit trail together so the recipient, timestamp, and signing actions remain attributable.
The Business plan includes 100 signature invites per user per year, with overage fees applying beyond that allowance. Business Premium and Enterprise have different plan features, while the Site License uses $1.50 per signature invite. Review the current agreement before estimating volume.
signNow encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2/1.3 and at rest with AES-256. Its compliance coverage includes ESIGN and UETA, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001. HIPAA compliance requires a BAA, which matters only when the insurance workflow contains protected health information.
