  • Details of the item or risk you wish to insure: For example, if you are applying for car insurance, you will need to provide the make, model, and registration number of your vehicle.

  • Claims history: You will usually be asked to provide details of any previous claims you have made on insurance policies.

  • Medical history: Some types of insurance, such as life or health insurance, may require you to disclose your medical history.

  • Financial information: Some types of insurance, such as income protection or business interruption insurance, may require you to disclose financial information such as your income or business revenue.

  • Identification: You will typically be required to provide valid identification, such as a driver’s license or passport.

  • Additional documents: Depending on the type of insurance, you may be required to provide additional documents such as a building report, a veterinary certificate, or a pre-inspection report.
