Requesting a Rights Certificate

A rights certificate is often requested by an employer, bank, or other institution to prove your current health coverage. It can usually be downloaded from your personal space, but a letter remains useful for a specific need.

This page explains how to request this certificate, what information to provide, and offers a ready-to-use letter template, plus a tool to automatically generate your personalized letter.

When should you write this letter?

• An employer or other institution asked you to prove your health coverage;
• You don't have access to your personal space;
• You need a certificate with a specific date;
• You need a certificate for a special administrative purpose.

In all these cases, a written letter remains an effective way to obtain the required document.

Required information to include

• Your first and last name and social security number;
• The purpose of using the certificate;
• The date required on the certificate if necessary.

The more precise your request, the faster you'll get the appropriate document.
