Insurance policy, referred to as insurance policy, is a formal written proof that the insurer and the insured have concluded an insurance contract. The insurance policy must completely record the rights, obligations and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The contents recorded in the insurance policy are the basis for both parties to perform the contract, and the insurance policy is the proof of the establishment of the insurance contract.

According to China's Insurance Law, the establishment of an insurance contract does not depend on the issuance of an insurance policy. As long as the insured and the insurer reach an agreement on the terms of the contract, the insurance contract is established. Even if no insurance policy is issued, the insurer shall be liable for compensation. Unless the parties to an insurance contract agree in the contract that the insurance policy is the effective condition of the contract.

The insurance policy must clearly and completely record the rights and obligations of both parties. The insurance policy mainly states the names of the insurer and the insured, the subject matter insured, the insured amount, the insurance premium, the insurance period, the scope of liability for compensation or payment and other specified matters.

According to the applicant's application, the insurance policy is signed by the insurer and handed over to the insured. Insurance policy is the main evidence for the insured to claim compensation from the insurer when he suffers losses due to an accident, and it is also the basis for the insurer to collect insurance premiums.
