For Insurance Agents

Stop chasing clients for policy and claims documents.

Send a checklist for applications, ID, and supporting documents. Clients upload without creating an account. You see who's still missing paperwork before it delays a policy or claim.

$7.99/month flat · unlimited clients · no client login required

Insurance work has two separate document chases with different urgency profiles. New policy applications are routine and can absorb a few days of delay; claims cannot, because the client is already in a bad situation and every extra request compounds it. Both benefit from the same fix — a named list of exactly what's required, sent once, with the status visible — but the claims side is where it changes the client's experience of your agency most.

The problem

  • New policy applications stalled waiting on ID or supporting documents
  • Claims delayed because a client hasn't sent the requested paperwork
  • No easy way to see which clients still owe documents across an active book
  • Renewal season generating the same document requests across hundreds of policies

What you'll use it for

  • New policy application document collection (ID, supporting forms)
  • Claims document requests
  • Annual policy renewal document checklists
  • Commercial policy underwriting document packages

New policy and claims checklists

Government-issued photo ID for the policyholder
Completed and signed application forms
Proof of prior coverage and loss history
Property details, appraisals, or inspection reports for property policies
Vehicle registration and driver's licence details for auto policies
Medical records or physician statements for health and life underwriting
For claims: incident documentation, photographs, and police or fire reports
For claims: repair estimates and invoices
Bank details for premium payment or claim settlement

Use this as a starting template — in ClientBrief you save it once and send it to every client, rather than retyping it into a new email each time.

Separating the routine from the urgent

Maintain distinct checklists for new applications, renewals, and claims, since the items and the urgency differ. Send the claims checklist immediately after first notice of loss — the client is most engaged in the first 48 hours, and every day after that lowers response rates. Clients upload photographs of damage and documents from a phone without registering. The status view lets you see which claims are waiting on the client versus waiting on the carrier, which is the distinction that determines who you follow up with.

Frequently asked questions

What documents are needed for a new insurance policy?

Generally photo ID, completed and signed application forms, proof of prior coverage and loss history, and the coverage-specific items — property appraisals or inspections, vehicle registration, or medical information depending on the line of business.

How do I speed up claims document collection?

Send the full request within the first 48 hours of first notice of loss, when the client is most engaged, and let automatic reminders handle the rest. Requesting items one at a time as the adjuster asks for them is what stretches a claim over weeks.

Can clients upload photos of damage?

Yes — clients upload photographs and documents from a phone without creating an account, which is the practical requirement for claims where the client is photographing damage on site.

Can I use it across a large book of business?

Yes. ClientBrief is $7.99/month flat with unlimited clients, so an agency with 200 policyholders pays the same as one with 20. Tools priced per user or per client scale very differently at book size.

Is it secure enough for medical and financial documents?

Uploads are encrypted in transit rather than sent as email attachments, and files are automatically deleted seven days after an engagement is marked complete — which is a deliberate design choice for exactly this kind of sensitive documentation.
