What documentation do I need to provide when making a claim?

When you make a claim, we may ask you to provide documents that help us assess and settle your claim. Documents can also be used to help us identify correct replacements for you.

Some examples of the types of documents are receipts, valuation certificates, credit card or bank statements, photos or an emergency services report.

A certified document is a copy signed and stamped by an authorised person who has checked it against the original document. In Australia, a range of authorised people in your community can complete this, including Medical Practitioners, Legal Practitioners, Court Officials, Justices of the Peace (JP), Full-time Primary or Secondary School Teachers, Pharmacists, Veterinarians and Police Officers.

To certify your documents:

  1. Make copies of the original documents. If you don't have a photocopier, most newsagencies offer this service
  2. Take the original documents, such as your driver's licence, the insured's driver's licence or evidence of death and your copies to an authorised person to sight, stamp and certify your copies as true and original

Take photos of the accident if you can. Pictures of damaged vehicles or property, the location of the incident, number plates and the other driver's licence details will all be useful for your claim.
