How to Request a Certificate of Coverage

All requests for certificates of coverage must be made electronically through the online MCIT member portal. Below are instructions on how to request a certificate of coverage using the online system.

MCIT does not accept requests made by phone or email.

  • If you have questions about how to submit a certificate of coverage request, contact MCIT.
  • For questions about a specific certificate request, contact the assigned MCIT underwriting technician or the underwriting manager.

Note: The online member portal automatically logs you out after 60 minutes. Your work will not be saved. Once you begin a form, you must complete and submit it in one sitting. You cannot log off and log in later to finish it. The system does not save partially completed requests.
