What insurance teams send for signature
With BoldSign, agencies, brokers, and carriers send the forms that start, change, and close a policy.
| Document | Who signs | What matters most |
|---|---|---|
| Policy application | Applicant, and any co-applicant | Each applicant signs their own lines, in the order you set |
| Renewal acceptance | Policyholder | The same form for many policyholders, each with their own details |
| Endorsement or policy change | Policyholder | A record of who approved the change, and when |
| Claim form and proof of loss | Claimant, then the adjuster | Signing from a phone, with photos attached |
| Cancellation request | Policyholder | Proof that the right person asked for it |
| Agent or broker agreement | Agent, then your agency | One approved version that every new agent receives |
