Declaration Page

Definition: The summary page of your insurance policy showing your coverage limits, deductibles, and premium.

The declaration page (often called the "dec page") is the first page of your insurance policy. It provides a snapshot of your coverage and serves as proof of insurance.

What's on a Declaration Page:

  • Policy number
  • Named insured(s)
  • Property address
  • Policy period (start and end dates)
  • Coverage types and limits
  • Deductible amounts
  • Premium breakdown
  • Mortgage company (if applicable)
  • Agent/broker information

    Why It's Important:

1. Proof of insurance: Lenders, landlords, and others may request it 2. Quick reference: Summarizes your coverage at a glance 3. Verification: Ensures your policy matches what you requested 4. Claims: You'll need policy details when filing

Review Your Dec Page:

  • Verify your name and address are correct
  • Confirm coverage limits match your needs
  • Check deductible amounts
  • Note the policy period for renewal reminders
  • Ensure any endorsements are listed
