Insurance

Proposals, policies and endorsements signed at the speed of the sale: the insured signs from a link, on their phone. For agencies, brokers and carriers that live on closings.

The documents of a policy's lifecycle

From quote to claim: what agencies and carriers sign the most.

Insurance proposals

Signed in the decision window: the insured confirms coverage and premiums before the lead goes cold.

Broker-of-record agreements

The agency-client relationship formalized: scope, compensation and responsibilities signed by the parties.

Endorsements and changes

New vehicle, new address, new coverage? The endorsement formalizes the change without reprinting the policy.

Health disclosure forms

Life and health need disclosures: the applicant declares and signs on their phone, with identity validation on record.

Coverage waivers

The client declined a coverage? The signed waiver protects the agency when a claim comes knocking.

Renewals

Expiring policies renew electronically before the deadline, with reminders chasing whoever stalls.

Authorizations and consent

Payment authorizations, data use, contact preferences: every authorization documented and signed.

Claim settlements

Releases and settlement agreements signed with identity validation, closing the claim with evidence.

From approved quote to signed policy the same day

How an agency typically closes inside Signater, in four steps.

  1. Quote approved, proposal out the door

    The insured's details go into the template and the proposal goes out for signature while the decision is hot.

  2. Proposal, disclosures and terms in one envelope

    Everything the product requires travels together, and the insured signs the whole package at once.

  3. The insured signs on their phone

    No printing and no notary: they validate the code they received and sign in the browser, wherever they are.

  4. Renewals never slip

    Envelope deadlines and automatic reminders: the book renews on time, without a manual chase list.

Signed by the insured, verified

Identity factors configured per signer. Every recorded validation enters the envelope's certificate of completion as evidence.

Email code

A 6-digit code lands in the insured's email and is required at signing time, with no new app and no account.

SMS code

The confirmation code arrives by text message on the insured's phone, ready to validate in seconds.

Selfie with liveness check

For health disclosures, claim settlements and life products, the signer confirms their identity with a selfie and liveness check before signing.

The eight available factors, from selfie with liveness detection to certificate-based signing, are on the Identity validation page

The features that keep this flow moving

Each card opens the feature's full page, with how it works in detail.

Built to integrate

The quote closes, the API sends the proposal; the signed policy and its evidence come back by webhook to the agency's system.

Frequently asked questions

Is an electronically signed insurance proposal legally valid?

Yes. Electronic signature laws such as the U.S. ESIGN Act and UETA make electronic signatures legally binding, and the EU's eIDAS regulation recognizes them across Europe. Signater produces an advanced electronic signature based on a digital certificate, in the PAdES standard, and each signer's identity validations are recorded in the envelope's certificate of completion.

Will the carrier accept a DPS and proposal signed this way?

Remote contracting is a regulated, widespread practice across the insurance industry; product-specific requirements follow each regulator's and each carrier's own rules. The envelope's certificate of completion gathers the identity and acceptance evidence the carrier needs to see.

Can I send the proposal, DPS and authorizations all at once?

Yes. An envelope gathers several documents and several signers in a single signing flow: you send once and the insured signs everything together. Limits follow the plan: up to 20 documents per envelope on Starter, up to 50 on Business and no limit on Enterprise.

How do I avoid missing a renewal?

Set the renewal up with a deadline and automatic reminders: whoever hasn't signed gets chased automatically, and the envelope expires on its own if the deadline passes. Reports show the pending book.

Health disclosures are sensitive data. How are they protected?

The declaration stays in the envelope, with access controlled by vault and a trail of who accessed it. Encryption and controls are covered on the Security page.

I write commercial lines. Does anything change?

No: legal representatives sign through the same flow, with per-signer validation, and fleet or general-liability policies stay in the envelope along with the rest of the contracting documents.

Does the insured need to create an account or install an app?

No. The insured receives the invitation by email or SMS, opens the document in the browser and signs after validating their identity with the factors you configured. No app, no sign-up and no digital certificate required.
