Certificate of Insurance

A certificate of insurance is a document used to verify an entity is insured. Outside parties often request Duke to confirm various types and levels of insurance in connection with business agreements. Corporate Risk Management provides the certificate as proof of insurance.

Examples of situations when evidence of insurance may be required:

• Lease or rental agreements for property, vehicles, or equipment furnished to the University.
• For Medical or Clinical Professional Liability please contact DUHS Clinical Risk Management at 919-684-3277.
