Should You Issue ‘Blank’ Certificates of Insurance?

From the Big 'I' Virtual University: A contractor asks an agent for a certificate of insurance without a certificate holder name so he can provide it as proof of insurance. The agent says they will issue a COI to anyone at the contractor’s request, but can’t provide one for him to hand out, as has always been the policy.
