How to change your home address
Moving or correcting an address typo? Learn how to update the insured address on your Goodcover renters policy from your Member Dashboard.
If you are moving
Use the address-change workflow in your Member Dashboard:
- Open Change Address.
- Sign in with the email address associated with your Goodcover account.
- Enter your new address and choose when the change should take effect. You can select the current date if you have already moved or a future date for an upcoming move.
- Review and submit the change.
Because renters policies are not transferable between addresses, this process starts a new policy for your new home. It also schedules your old policy to end on the date the new policy begins.
If your address contains a typo
You may be able to correct a typo without having your policy reissued:
- Open Fix Address.
- Sign in with the email address associated with your Goodcover account.
- Submit the corrected address for review.
In most situations, typo corrections can be completed within one to two business days without reissuing the policy.
Frequently asked questions
Can I transfer my renters policy to a new address?
No. Renters policies are not transferable between addresses. Goodcover's address-change workflow starts a new policy for your new home and schedules the old policy to end when the new one begins.
Do I need a new policy to correct an address typo?
Not always. Submit the correction through the Fix Address page in your Member Dashboard. In most situations, a typo can be corrected within one to two business days without reissuing the policy.
