Clearing endorsements and mortgagee changes
Small changes, every day, from clients and lenders who all want them now.
To clear endorsements and mortgagee changes faster, use one intake for all change requests, have support staff gather details and stage the change, and have a licensed person review and submit anything that changes coverage. Confirm to the client or lender in writing and note it in the AMS. Simple mortgagee or address updates can often be handled same-day.
The flow
- Intake. One address or form for all change requests.
- Prep. Support staff gather details: VIN, driver info, lender clause, effective date.
- Review. A licensed person checks anything that changes coverage.
- Submit. Through the carrier portal, within the agency's authority.
- Confirm. To the client or lender in writing, noted in the AMS.
Sorting changes
| Change | Prep | Submit |
|---|---|---|
| Address update | Support | Support or licensed, per agency rules |
| Mortgagee or lienholder update | Support | Licensed review recommended |
| Add or remove a vehicle | Support | Licensed |
| Add a driver | Support | Licensed |
| Change limits or deductibles | Support | Licensed |
| Evidence of insurance to a lender | Support | Support |
Keep it from piling up
- Check the change queue twice a day.
- Set a same-day or next-day target.
- Use templates for common lender requests.

Questions agency owners ask
Does a mortgagee change need a licensed person?
Updating a mortgagee or lienholder doesn't usually change coverage, but agencies often have a licensed person review or submit it. Check your state's rules and carrier requirements.
Which endorsements need a license?
Anything that adds, removes or changes coverage: vehicles, drivers, limits, deductibles, locations, property.
What slows down policy changes?
Missing details, requests spread across inboxes, and every change waiting for the same busy person.
How fast should endorsements be processed?
Many agencies aim for the same or next business day for simple changes.
How do I handle lender requests for proof of insurance?
Keep a standard process: verify the request, update the mortgagee if needed, send evidence of insurance, and note it in the AMS.
