  • Accepted file types are PDF, TIF, PNG, or JPG.
  • Each file must be more than 1 byte and no larger than 10MB.
  • File names must be 100 characters or fewer and use only letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores.
  • Documents must not be password protected.
  • Images should be cropped to the document, with non-essential scanner background removed.

Some claims require original documents and cannot be completed with an online upload. Check the claim form before submitting documents online.

To upload documents, enter the numeric Claim ID and email address, re-enter both values, attach the files, and confirm that the uploaded documents are true, unaltered, and factual for the claim.
