BWC issues certificates of coverage to employers after they submit an Application for Workers' Compensation Coverage (U-3) and pay a non-refundable application fee of $120. They'll also receive a new certificate at the beginning of each policy year. The certificate is valid only if premium and assessments, including installments, are paid by the applicable due date.

Once we issue a certificate of coverage, you and your authorized representatives have the ability to reprint your most recent certificate of coverage as long as your policy is active. The dates on the certificate will be the same as the most recently created certificate. If the certificate of coverage you need is not available here, call us at 1-800-644-6292.

You can determine if an employer has active coverage by using Employer/MCO look-up (Coverage look-up). You can search by employer name, policy number, federal tax ID number or Social Security number. You'll see if the employer has active coverage in the state of Ohio.
