What Is a Certificate of Insurance (COI)?
A Certificate of Insurance (COI) is a document that confirms your moving company carries the required liability and workers' compensation coverage. Most NYC buildings — especially co-ops, condos, and managed rentals — require a valid COI before they will allow movers to enter the premises or reserve the freight elevator.
At NYC Green Line Movers, we handle COI requests as a standard part of every booking. There's no extra charge, no confusing paperwork, and no last-minute scrambling on moving day.
How Our COI Process Works
- Tell Us the Requirements: Share your building's insurance specifications — we'll take care of the rest.
- We Issue the COI: Our insurance provider generates the certificate with your building listed as the certificate holder.
- Delivered Directly: The COI is sent to your management company or building board — typically within 24 to 48 hours.
Why Buildings Require a COI
Building management companies need assurance that any contractors on-site are properly insured. A COI confirms that if there is accidental damage to hallways, elevators, or common areas during the move, the moving company's insurance will cover the repair costs — not the building's or the resident's.
What Our COI Covers
- General Liability Insurance — protects against property damage and bodily injury claims.
- Workers' Compensation — covers our crew members in the event of an on-the-job injury.
- Auto Liability — covers any incidents involving our moving trucks.
