Many Orange County buildings, HOA communities, and managed properties require a certificate of insurance from your moving company before any crew is allowed access. Royal Moving & Storage provides COI documentation for OC moves as a standard part of the job, so access is confirmed before move day and no crew is turned away at the gate.

Every specialist job starts with a scope review. We confirm the requirements before committing a crew and a price.
Gated communities in Rancho Santa Margarita and Coto de Caza, high-rise condominiums in Irvine and Newport Beach, managed apartment complexes in Huntington Beach, and commercial buildings across the county regularly require a certificate of insurance naming the property management company or HOA as an additional insured before any moving company is permitted on the premises. If the COI is not in place before move day, the crew gets turned away and the schedule falls apart.
Royal Moving & Storage carries the cargo and liability insurance that OC buildings and HOAs require. When you book a move with us and your origin or destination has a COI requirement, we obtain the certificate, submit it to the property management contact, and confirm receipt before the move date. There is no additional charge for this service. It is part of how we prepare every OC move, not an add-on you have to remember to request.

A certificate of insurance is a document from our insurance carrier confirming that Royal Moving & Storage holds active cargo and liability coverage. The property or HOA is named as an additional insured for the date of the move.
Managed condominium buildings, HOA-governed gated communities, high-rise residential towers, commercial office buildings, and many apartment complexes in Orange County require a COI before approving a move-in or move-out.
Most OC property managers and HOA offices require the COI several business days before the move date. Same-day COI requests are rarely accepted. We submit in advance as part of the pre-move preparation.
You provide the property management contact. We obtain the certificate from our carrier and submit it directly. You do not need to forward documents between us and the building.
COI procurement and submission is included with every OC move. It is not an add-on fee. We handle it because a crew turned away at the gate costs everyone time.
If both the origin and destination properties have COI requirements, we obtain certificates for both addresses and submit to both property contacts ahead of the move date.
Four steps from booking to the crew arriving at a building that is already expecting them.
When you book your OC move, you tell us the property management contact for any address requiring a certificate of insurance. We confirm the additional insured name, the property address, and the move date.
We request the COI from our insurance carrier naming the required additional insured. The certificate reflects the correct coverage types and limits required by the OC building or HOA.
We submit the COI directly to the property management contact and follow up to confirm receipt. You do not forward documents between us and the building. We notify you when the COI is confirmed accepted.
