The ACORD Cancellation Form (ACORD 35) is a standardized document used in the insurance industry to formally request the termination of an insurance policy. This form is essential for policyholders, agents, and insurers to ensure a smooth cancellation process while maintaining compliance with legal and contractual obligations. It includes key details such as the policyholder's name, policy number, type of coverage, requested cancellation date, and the reason for termination, which can range from a policyholder's request to non-payment or underwriting decisions. Proper completion of the form requires accuracy in filling out policy details, selecting the appropriate reason for cancellation, and ensuring all necessary signatures are included. Once submitted, the insurer processes the request, which may involve issuing refunds for prepaid premiums or finalizing any outstanding payments. A confirmation of cancellation is typically sent to the policyholder, making it crucial to retain a copy for records. Mistakes such as incorrect dates, missing signatures, or failure to notify lienholders can cause delays or complications, so careful attention is necessary. Understanding the ACORD Cancellation Form helps policyholders and businesses avoid potential coverage gaps, comply with insurance requirements, and transition smoothly to new policies if needed.
