and retrieving insurance information quick and easy. The system is designed to be used primarily by insurance brokers
and agents as they submit client insurance information directly to the City. The agent or broker submitting the certificate
must go to https://kwikcomply.org to register first with their individual insurance license, and then submit insurance
electronically.
