An insurance policy belongs to a contract. If it is lost, it shall notify the insurance agent in time. The insurance company has the insurance contract of the applicant in the database, and the applicant can apply to the insurance company for a replacement of the lost insurance contract.
Customers need to apply to the insurance company in person to change the contract, or they can entrust an agent with full authority. However, it should be noted that if an agent is entrusted, the customer still needs to collect the reissued insurance policy in person, and only after obtaining the reissued contract can he apply for compensation according to the procedure.
