QR Codes for Insurance Companies
Policies, claims, and license checks
An insurer’s QR code can open policy documents, start a claim, connect a customer to an agent, or show proof that the company is licensed.
The NAIC warned in July 2024 that unlicensed sellers push fake package protection coverage at online checkout, then do not pay claims.

What Is a QR Code for Insurance Companies?
An insurance QR code is a printed code on a policy packet, ID card, brochure, or agent card that opens a policy portal, claims page, license information, or agent contact. Policies are issued and claims are paid through your systems; the code only opens the page.
What the NAIC Warns About Fake Coverage
The NAIC described the problem in its consumer alert on package protection insurance scams, published July 18, 2024.
- The scam: Unlicensed companies sell package protection coverage for lost, stolen, or damaged packages.
- Disguised names: They may call these products warranties, guarantees, or protection plans.
- The result: They often take payment but do not provide the protection.
- Limited help: A state department of insurance may not be able to help if the seller is not licensed in that state.
- NAIC advice: Check that a provider is licensed using the NAIC’s Consumer Insurance Search before buying.
- Another option: A stolen package may be covered under a homeowners or renters policy.
What an Insurance QR Code Can Open
- License page: Your licensed states and a link to the NAIC lookup.
- Policy portal: Documents, payments, and changes.
- Claims page: Online claim start and the claims phone number.
- Agent contact: Phone, email, and booking.
- Coverage explainers: Plain-language guides to what a policy covers.
How to Create an Insurance QR Code in TLinky
Use your own domain on every customer code, so policyholders can tell your links from look-alike sites.
Here is the step by step guide:
- Log in to your TLinky account, click Create, then select QR Code.
- Name the code and choose a domain (domains apply to dynamic codes and depend on your plan).
- Select Link for claims or license pages, or vCard for an agent’s contact card.
- Enter the page URL or agent details.
- Customize Templates, Colors, and Design to match your brand, click Generate QR, then Save Changes and download.
Pro Tip: Print the claims phone number next to the claims code, since people may need it when their phone signal is weak.
Licensed, and Easy to Check
Where Insurers Place QR Codes
- Policy packets: Portal and claims codes.
- ID cards: The claims page.
- Ads and brochures: License proof and quotes on brochure QR codes.
- Agent cards: Contact cards and booking, using QR codes for contact information.
- Office signs: Payment and document upload pages.
Keep Insurance Codes Trustworthy
- Link to the NAIC lookup: Let customers check your license with an independent tool.
- Never collect payment on an outside page: Keep payments inside your portal.
- Keep claims info current: Update phone numbers and steps as they change.
- Explain what coverage is: Use plain names, not vague terms like protection plan.
- Review agent codes: Update cards when an agent leaves.
Packets That Never Go Stale
Claims numbers and portal addresses change. Policy packets in customers’ drawers keep working when the link behind them is updated.
