NYC COI Movers | Certified & Insured for Every NYC Building

In New York City, moving into most residential or commercial buildings isn’t just about showing up—it’s about proving you’re insured. With co-ops, condos, and high-rises requiring strict Certificates of Insurance (COIs) before allowing movers on the property, choosing a mover who understands COI protocols is critical.

Divine Moving & Storage has been navigating NYC’s building insurance requirements for nearly 30 years. We provide same-day COIs tailored to each building’s unique demands and are pre-approved by countless management companies across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx.


What Is a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and Why Do You Need It?

A Certificate of Insurance is an official document showing that your movers carry the proper insurance coverage—typically including:

  • General liability (up to $10M in some buildings)

  • Workers’ compensation

  • Automobile insurance

  • Umbrella liability

  • Property damage and cargo coverage

Most NYC buildings—especially high-end co-ops, condos, and office towers—will not let a moving crew step onto the premises without submitting a building-specific COI in advance. And many require:

  • Being named as the certificate holder and additional insured

  • Custom formatting with legal language

  • Proof of coverage that exactly matches their requirements

  • Approval by a building manager or board days before move-in

At Divine, we take care of it all—fast, accurately, and without delays that could derail your move.


Why Divine Moving Is NYC’s Go-To COI-Compliant Mover

Other movers treat COIs as an afterthought. We treat them as a mission-critical step. Our in-house compliance teamworks directly with your building to ensure all insurance requirements are met—usually within a few hours.

✅ What Sets Divine Apart:

  • Same-day COI issuance

  • Dedicated team coordinating with building management

  • Fully licensed, bonded, and insured

  • Custom COIs for co-ops, condos, and commercial properties

  • Approved by major NYC property managers

  • Experience with NYC’s strictest buildings


Buildings Where COIs Are Always Required

We’ve moved clients in and out of some of the most exclusive buildings in NYC, including:

  • Luxury high-rises (Hudson Yards, Battery Park City, Upper West Side)

  • Historic co-ops (Carnegie Hill, Greenwich Village, Upper East Side)

  • Columbia and NYU-affiliated housing

  • Commercial and retail office towers (Midtown, SoHo, FiDi)

  • Doorman-managed properties and concierge buildings

  • New developments with underground dock access

If your building requires a COI—we’ve likely worked with them already.
