The Insurance Binder Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian insurance practice, used when immediate insurance coverage is required before a formal policy can be issued. This document type is particularly relevant in situations requiring urgent coverage, such as property closings, equipment deliveries, or immediate business operations. The binder serves as a legally binding temporary insurance contract under Nigerian law, typically issued by licensed insurers or authorized brokers, and must comply with National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) regulations. It includes essential details such as coverage type, limits, premium rates, and duration, providing the insured with immediate protection while the comprehensive policy document is being prepared. The binder's validity usually extends from 30 to 60 days, during which time the formal policy should be finalized and issued.
