General Advisory to ALL Motor Insurance Customers
Subject: Important Update - Transition to Non-Wet-Ink Signatures on ALL Motor Insurance Certificates
Dear Nautica Customers,
We wish to advise you of an important change taking place within the motor insurance industry in Trinidad & Tobago.
Traditionally, motor insurance certificates and cover notes were issued as hard-copy documents bearing a manual "wet-ink" signature. While this has been a longstanding practice, it was never a legal requirement. The law only requires that motor certificates be printed; there is no stipulation mandating physical stamps or handwritten signatures.
The industry is now moving toward digitally generated, non-wet-ink signatures on motor certificates and cover notes. Guardian General Insurance Limited is the first of many insurers to implement this initiative.
What This Means for You
-
You will be receiving your motor certificate electronically, bearing digitally generated signatures.
-
These electronic certificates are fully valid and legally acceptable once printed and placed in your vehicle.
-
Customers will still be required by law to keep a printed copy of the certificate in their vehicle.
Nautica Insurance Brokers will guide and assist you as each insurer transitions to this updated format in 2026 and beyond.
This industry-wide shift is intended to improve efficiency, reduce delays, and enhance customer convenience. We will continue to keep you informed as each insurer adopts the new system.
If you have any questions about understanding your certificate, please contact us at 275-8038 or info@nauticatt.com.
Thank you for choosing Nautica Insurance Brokers. We appreciate your business.
Managing Director,
