A declarations page is the summary of your insurance policy—it includes important details like coverage amounts, deductible, who’s covered, and more.
Your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. And, like most legal documents, it’s pretty long and complicated—but it also has a summary, which is known as a declarations page.
This page, often referred to as a dec page, is your go-to for important info like how much coverage you have on your property, what types of endorsements were added on (if any), and more.
Your dec page will also typically contain a list of terms that are used in the document, along with their explanations.
Once you get your policy, read over the declarations page extra carefully and make sure everything is correct.
One of the most common mistakes we see here at Lemonade HQ is one of the most obvious: an incorrect home address. And while you’re at it, make sure to double check your name, coverage amounts, deductible, and policy type.
If you stay with your insurance company for more than a year, you’ll have a new dec page to review annually—exciting!—since your policy term is typically 12 months long.
