If you require the certificate immediately, then pay for this order now so you have it. To receive a credit for the previous order, provide us with each icerts order # related to this request per the instructions above.

Updated certificates become available on or after the renewal date, once the association has been updated by the insurance agent.

The ordering party goes to their order history tab and clicks on the credit card icon next to their order, then chooses the 3rd party option and click continue. They then cut & paste and forward the instructions with the link & the random payment code to the 3rd party via email to process the payment.
