What we need
Prior to releasing the funds to any claimant, ivari must be satisfied as to the claimant’s identity and entitlement to the property. To establish the claimant’s identity, ivari requires 2 pieces of identification, one of which is a piece of photo ID that establishes name, signature and date of birth (if not provided with the inquiry). Additional documentations, such as the ones listed below, may be required:
- a copy of documentation verifying property identification (for example, a copy of the policy/contract, a confirmation statement previously received from us)
- Social Insurance Number
I’ve submitted an inquiry, what’s next?
Your inquiry will be investigated and a communication will be sent to you within five (5) business days to confirm whether ivari found a match to your claim inquiry. The claim process will commence after this confirmation. Should your claim be denied, you will be notified of our appeal process.
