Is a certificate of insurance the same as a binder?

A certificate of insurance is a form of proof of insurance warranting that you have coverage for a specific period. An insurance binder is a brief document that serves as a temporary insurance policy. It remains in effect for a short time, typically 30 to 90 days. A binder dissolves once the policy is issued.
