The policy form number is an important identifier for the insurance company, helping them match policyholders with the policies they have purchased.
Though referred to as a “policy form number,” it is actually a combination of numbers and letters. The arrangement of these characters can indicate the type of insurance purchased and key dates, such as the renewal date.
