Policy terms

Endorsement

An endorsement is an amendment that adds, removes, or changes coverage on a policy. Additional insured status, waivers of subrogation, and many contract requirements are handled through endorsements.

How it shows up

Because endorsements change the actual policy, meeting a contract requirement usually means confirming the endorsement is issued, not just referenced on a certificate.
