Certificates of Insurance

As a photographer, you may be required to provide a Certificate of Insurance to a facility or venue where you are having a photo shoot.  A Certificate of Insurance is an insurance document that details the type of insurance coverage you have and the dates and limits of that coverage. Many facilities and venues may also require that you to add them as an additional insured when you are on their property.

A Certificate of Insurance is sometimes referred to as a Certificate of Liability or Proof of Insurance. ProPhotographer’s Insurance allows you to easily add and print Certificates of Insurance during purchase or anytime after by using our online policy management system. Annual Photographer Liability policies start as low as $8.25/month.

An Additional Insured is a person or venue, other than the insured photographer, that is also provided insurance under the policy. An Additional Insured may require that specific wording be added and is usually contained in an insurance requirement section of the Facility Use Agreement.
