What is an ADT Alarm Monitoring Certificate?
As one of the leading security system companies, many insurance providers will lower insurance costs if you have an ADT security system. ADT owners can show proof of having a system with a dedicated alarm certificate.
This certificate documents your home’s address and the monitoring services present on the property. The certificate will confirm with the insurance provider if you have security, fire, and carbon monoxide monitoring.
Additionally, an insurance company may ask for proof of your alarm system with a billing statement from ADT. The alarm certificate and billing statement are available on your online ADT account.
How to Request an ADT Alarm Certificate
When you want to download your ADT alarm certificate, you can do the whole process from your MyADT account. This account has all your system information and confirms you have professional security monitoring.
Follow these steps to request a downloadable ADT alarm certificate:
- Log into Your MyADT Account
- Click Account on the Menu
- Click Account Documents
- Click Alarm Monitoring Certificate in Insurance Documents Section
- Download the PDF Certificate For Proof of Alarm Monitoring
If an Authorized Dealer installed your ADT system, you might need to contact them for the certificate. The ADT installation provider will print or email you the downloadable PDF certificate.
However, before you go through the process of printing the ADT alarm certificate, you should confirm the insurance provider offers a discount. While a discount is likely, not all insurance companies offer this privilege to customers.
How to Request a Billing Statement For Your Insurance Provider
Along with an ADT alarm certificate, some insurance providers will take a billing statement as proof of an ADT system. The billing statement will show that you pay for professional monitoring services for your home.
Download your monthly billing statements by following these steps:
- Log into Your MyADT Account
- Click Account on the Menu
- Click Payments

You will receive your first billing statement after being a customer for 30 days. If you haven’t been an ADT customer for 30 days, the best option is to download the ADT alarm certificate in insurance documents.
How Much Money Do You Save With an ADT Alarm Certificate?
Several factors determine the savings rate you receive when you show proof of an ADT alarm to your insurance company. An insurance provider will determine your savings based on home size, premiums, location, and other factors.
On average, the discount rates vary between 2% and 15% on insurance premiums. If you receive a 10% policy discount on an average insurance policy of $1,500, you can enjoy savings of around $150 annually.
With the ADT monitoring plan starting at $19.99 per month, you can save a significant amount of money on your monitoring plan. Additionally, you can maximize your savings by investing in fire and carbon monoxide monitoring.
