# Policy

To procure contractor insurance, you create a `Policy` object. You can retrieve individual policies as well as list all policies. Policies are identified by a unique, random ID.

Important note: Creating a policy via the POST endpoint is an exception for most integrations. A policy object is created automatically when a contractor completes their insurance application (see Session API). Contact us if you plan to use the policy POST endpoint.
