Mailing Addresses by Claim Type
Erie's claims department distinguishes between initial loss reports and follow‑up correspondence. Use the address that matches the purpose of your mail to avoid processing delays.

Online Submission Options
Erie's website offers a secure claims portal that links directly to your policy. Log in at erieinsurance.com/claims, select "File a New Claim," and follow the prompts. The portal automatically routes your information to the appropriate processing center, eliminating the need for a physical address.
Regional Offices for In‑Person Assistance
If you prefer face‑to‑face service, Erie's regional claims offices can accept documents and answer questions. The nearest office is listed on the insurer's "Contact Us" page; it typically includes the street address, phone number, and hours of operation.
Key Documents to Include
Regardless of the submission method, attach the following to ensure a smooth review:
- Completed Claim Form (available online or in the mailing packet)
- Police report or accident report number
- Photos of vehicle damage
- Repair estimates from licensed shops
- Medical records or bills if injuries occurred
Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
Missing or incorrect address information is a frequent cause of claim delays. Double‑check that the ZIP code matches the Erie office handling your claim, and verify that you're using the "Auto" specific address rather than a general insurance or homeowner's address. When using the online portal, ensure your policy number is entered correctly; a mismatch can route your claim to the wrong department.
