Endorsement

Insurance Glossary

A written amendment attached to a policy that adds, removes or changes coverage from the standard form. Water backup, scheduled jewelry, ordinance or law and named driver exclusions are all typically added by endorsement. Some carry an extra premium and some do not, and which endorsements are offered varies by insurer and by state.
