What if I can’t find my life insurance policy?

Life insurance documents are important financial records, and they should be treated with care. It is a good idea to keep a copy of the life insurance documents in a safe deposit box or other safe location, but even with the best care sometimes those documents are lost.

If the life insurance policy is lost or misplaced it is important to notify the insurer or insurance agent as quickly as possible. This will allow the company to provide the replacement documents needed as quickly as possible.

When contacting the insurance company it is important to provide as much detail as possible, including the name of the insured, the policyholder’s Social Security or ID number and the mailing address.
