      ACORD and Supplemental forms on the Forms page

      Appulate allows users to fill out, download, send by email, and send to sign ACORD and Supplemental forms. 

      ACORD forms associated with the insurance line and Supplemental forms associated with markets selected on the RFQ interface can be found on the Forms page. To open it, click Forms on the quote request page.

      Note: The Forms page is available only when you've already created an Insured and RFQ.

      • Some ACORD and Supplemental forms may be hidden. Click View all forms to view and add the forms you need. 
      • Some forms may be hidden if a business type is not specified.
      • Supplemental forms are provided by markets for particular insurance lines and states.  For more information, see the Forms List.
      • To access a supplemental form of a particular market, you need to add this company to your submission using the Add markets button.
      • ACORD and Supplemental forms are also available under Forms on the Quotes Docs tab of a policy.

      Note: Your company may have certain restrictions regarding ACORD and Supplemental forms. Agents on ProducerConnect Standard and markets without the ACORD license cannot access these forms. For more information, please contact our sales team at sales@appulate.com.

      • Sign: initiates the form signing procedure using the eSignature service for ACORD forms and Supplementals. If you click on the arrow on the left side of the form, you can view the following information: "Signed Producer", "Signed Applicant", "Sent on" (the date and time when the document was sent to the insured for signing), "Signed on" (the date and time when the document was signed by the insured). Additionally, the "Signed Document" and “Audit Trail” are available on the right in the same row. The agent user can also send a reminder to the insured by clicking "Remind to sign" or cancel the signing procedure by clicking "Cancel Signing" if the insured has not signed the document yet or delete the signed document by clicking "Delete". When the agent user signs the document, an email notification with a link to this document signing tool is sent to the insured client.
