Certificates of Currency: What They Are and How to Get One Fast
Need proof of insurance for a contract, lease or site induction? Here's how to get it in under an hour.
A certificate of currency is a one-page document proving your insurance is active — what cover you hold, with which insurer, at what limit, and until when. Builders need them for site access, tenants for leases, contractors for tenders, and almost everyone eventually needs one urgently.
Who asks for them
- Principal contractors and site managers before allowing site access
- Landlords and property managers before lease commencement
- Government and corporate procurement during tenders
- Event organisers, councils and franchisors
The broker advantage: speed
Direct insurers can take days to issue certificates through call centres. A broker issues them directly — Stonewell clients typically receive certificates within the hour during business hours. When a contract is on the line, that speed matters.
Need public liability insurance?
If your work injures someone or damages their property, public liability keeps a bad day from becoming a lawsuit.
