  • To submit an application, you must have an up-to-date extract from the Unified State Register of Property Rights regarding the applicant, received no later than 10 calendar days before submitting  the application, and a valid document confirming the ownership of the property (for example, an extract from the State Register of Property Rights, a certificate of ownership, etc.)

  • Those  who have  submitted an application to ECA for participation in the Programme before 1 May 2026 may, if necessary, clarify the submitted applications (increase the previously declared amounts of possible losses with a corresponding additional payment of the premium), and those who have entered into insurance contracts after 1 January 2026 but have not submitted an application for participation in the Programme to the insurer may submit an application to the insurer by 1 May 2026
