FAQs
Q: Can I still review quote documents before binding?
Yes. MAP won’t bind the policy until you’ve had a chance to review and approve the finalized documents.
Q: I need to change something on the app. Can I edit it?
Once submitted, applications can’t be edited directly, but you can click Re-Quote/Revise to duplicate and make your changes.
Tip 💡When in doubt, click Take Action. That’s always where you’ll find your next step, whether it’s to bind, revise, or request quote documents.
