Is a binder number the same as a policy number?

The binder number is a series of numbers (often combined with letters) that are used for identification purposes. It’s not the same as your policy number. Your binder will list a policy number only if the binder has been issued to extend the term of a policy that has expired. Jul 20, 2020
