What is standard industry practice for producers to prove that they delivered the policy mailed to them by the insurer?

• A. Phone confirmation
• B. No documentation required
• C. Delivery receipt from applicant
• D. Email confirmation

Answer: (C)

The key idea is proving actual delivery of a policy that was mailed. The standard practice is for the producer to obtain a delivery receipt from the applicant, documenting that the policy was received (often including date, policy number, and recipient’s acknowledgment). This provides concrete, verifiable proof of delivery that can be relied upon if questions arise or during the free-look period. Relying on a phone call or an email confirmation doesn’t create the same dependable record, and having no documentation leaves no verifiable proof of delivery. A delivery receipt from the applicant is the official, proven method to show the policy was delivered.
