Key Information Required

Gather these items before you start:

  • Policyholder's full name and address
  • Vehicle identification number (VIN) and registration details
  • Driver license numbers for all listed drivers
  • Desired coverage levels (liability, collision, comprehensive)
  • Discount eligibility (safe driver, multi‑car, bundling)

Step‑by‑Step Completion Guide

1. Personal and Vehicle Details

Enter the policyholder's name exactly as it appears on the driver's license. For the vehicle, copy the VIN, make, model, and year from the registration card. Mistyped VINs can invalidate the policy.

2. Coverage Selections

Choose the limits for bodily injury and property damage liability; Estrella typically offers $25k/$50k, $50k/$100k, and $100k/$300k tiers. Indicate whether you want collision and comprehensive coverage, and specify deductible amounts (e.g., $500, $1,000). Higher deductibles lower the premium but increase out‑of‑pocket costs after a loss.

3. Driver Information

List each driver who will regularly operate the vehicle. Provide name, date of birth, license number, and relationship to the policyholder. Note any past accidents or violations; omitting this can lead to claim denial.

4. Discounts and Endorsements

Check boxes for applicable discounts—good driver, multi‑policy, anti‑theft device, etc. If you need endorsements such as roadside assistance or rental reimbursement, mark them here; they will adjust the premium.

5. Signature and Date

Both the policyholder and, if required, the primary driver must sign and date the declaration. An unsigned form is considered incomplete and will not be processed.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Incorrect VIN, missing driver license numbers, and unchecked discount boxes are the most frequent errors. Double‑check each field against official documents before submitting.

Submission Options

You can submit the completed declaration online through Estrella's portal, fax it to the agent, or mail a hard copy. Online submission provides instant validation of required fields.

What Happens After Submission

Estrella reviews the declaration, calculates the final premium, and sends a policy binder. If any information is unclear, an agent will contact you for clarification. Once the binder is accepted, coverage becomes effective on the start date you selected.
