Why Do I See the Wrong Name or Start Date on My Walnut Tenant Insurance Policy Document?

Policyholder vs. Certificate Holder


Your insurance document includes two different names for a reason:


Policyholder:

  • This refers to the company that holds the group policy — typically 2678562 Ontario Inc.
  • This is an administrative name, not your personal information.


Certificate Holder

  • This is you — the tenant. Your name, rental address, and specific coverage details appear here.
  • This section is what applies to your individual insurance coverage.


Why the Start Date Might Look Off


If you’re looking at the policy wording document, you might see a start date that looks outdated or doesn’t match when you purchased your coverage. That’s because:


The policy wording document shows the date the overall group policy was created (not your specific policy start date).


Your personal start date is listed on your certificate of insurance — this is the document that reflects your actual coverage timeline.


So if you’re trying to verify your insurance start date, always refer to your certificate, not the general policy wording.
