Earthquake insurance quote application

The Covwell residential earthquake application captures the key details needed to turn a pricing indication into a broker-reviewed submission for California carriers.

What you need to know

Earthquake insurance quote application

The Best Earthquake Insurance application is built around the Covwell residential earthquake application form — one of the most commonly used forms by California earthquake insurance brokers. The online wizard fills in all the standard fields, attaches your signature, and submits the completed PDF to Bollinsure for broker review.

Key application fields

What the Best Earthquake wizard captures

The application documents all the details underwriters look for. Gathering the following before applying produces a stronger submission and faster broker review:

  • Section 1: applicant name, contact, effective date, and property location
  • Section 2: current homeowners coverage and desired earthquake limits
  • Section 3: construction type, foundation, stories, square footage, year built
  • Section 4: retrofit details — bolting, bracing, verification, contractor, permit
  • Section 5: masonry and site conditions — chimney, slope, unusual soil
  • Section 6: loss history and coverage notes
  • Section 7: e-signature and authorization for broker market submission
Why independent broker review matters

From indication to bindable options

The Best Earthquake Insurance application gives a preliminary annual range anchored to CDI data, then submits a completed Covwell application to Bollinsure for broker review. A licensed California broker reviews your construction, retrofit, and loss details and shops multiple carrier markets to find the best available terms.

The indication is not a bindable quote — final coverage is subject to underwriting, carrier eligibility, and policy terms. But starting with a strong, complete application gives the broker the best possible foundation for market submission.

How this fits the application

Ready to submit?

The 5-step application wizard takes approximately 5–8 minutes to complete. It walks through property and applicant details, coverage terms and deductible selection, construction and foundation type, retrofit and loss history, and a review-and-sign step where you can preview the completed PDF before submitting.

Your completed application is reviewed by a licensed broker who follows up — often the same business day — with market options and next steps.
