What is a Certificate of Insurance?

A Certificate of Insurance (COI) is a document that proves your moving company carries the required insurance coverage. Most NYC buildings, co-ops, and condos require a COI before allowing movers to use service elevators or enter the building.

The COI protects both you and the building from liability during your move. It shows that we carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for moving?
A Certificate of Insurance is a document from your moving company's insurance carrier that proves they carry adequate liability coverage. NYC buildings require it to protect themselves from liability if a mover damages the building or injures someone during a move. It names the building as an additional insured party.
Does my NYC building actually require a COI?
Almost certainly yes if you live in a co-op, condo, or managed rental building. The vast majority of NYC buildings — especially in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and newer Queens buildings — require a COI before allowing any move to begin. Walk-up buildings with individual landlords sometimes do not.
How much does a COI cost from Serenity Movers?
Nothing. Serenity Movers provides Certificate of Insurance documentation completely free with every move. It is included automatically — you do not need to request it separately or pay any additional fee.
How quickly can you provide a COI?
In most cases Serenity Movers can provide a COI the same day you request it. For moves requiring multiple additional insured parties or specific wording required by co-op boards, allow 1-2 business days.
What if my building requires multiple parties named on the COI?
No problem. Serenity Movers can name the building corporation, the managing agent, the property owner, and any other parties your building requires as additional insured — all at no extra charge.
How do I get a COI for my NYC move?
