Certificate of Insurance for DJs

Getting a DJ COI is quick and easy. If you add additional insureds to your policy, you can get your COI immediately. If you don’t add additional insureds, the process can take a few hours or a few days, though your coverage can start immediately. Either way, you’ll be covered in no time at all!

Yes, you should have a DJ certificate of insurance (COI) for every gig because most venue owners and event coordinators won’t hire you without proof of insurance. Plus, you may get more gigs than your noninsured competitors when you inform event organizers and venue owners that you have insurance.

A DJ COI is free when you buy an insurance policy.

Yes, you can get a DJ insurance certificate for a one-time event when you buy an event policy that covers you for up to three days. This policy is perfect for weekend performances, pop-up appearances, or special occasions.

If you have more than a few gigs a year, we recommend an annual policy.

The following are always included on Insurance Canopy’s DJ COIs:

• Name of the business or individual DJ receiving the coverage
• Name of the insurance carrier
• Types of coverages
• Coverage limits
• Policy number
• Effective and expiration dates
• Additional insured information, if applicable

You only need to add a venue owner or event coordinator as an additional insured to your COI if they request it. Adding them gives an extra layer of protection in case something goes wrong during your gig, such as bodily injuries or property damage.
