We will pay special attention new rules of SberInsurance for remote submission of applications through a mobile application and personal account, which are effective from January 1, 2026.

1. When do you need to write an application to SberInsurance?

A statement is an official notification to the company about the occurrence of an insured event. Without it, consideration of the claim is impossible. You need to contact SberInsurance in the following situations:

• 🚗 Road accident — even if the culprit of the accident is another driver, your application will be required to process a payment under CASCO or direct compensation for damage (DCP) under OSAGO.
• 🔓 Car theft or theft — the application is submitted immediately after filing the statement with the police (a copy of the protocol is attached).
• 🏥 Insured events under life/health policies - injuries, illnesses, disability or death of the insured.
• 🏠 Damage to property - fire, flooding, theft of things from the apartment (if insured under a property insurance contract).
• 💼 Cancellation of the insurance contract — if you want to terminate the policy early (for example, when selling a car).

Important: Application deadline is limited. For CASCO and OSAGO this is 5 working days from the moment of an accident (according to law No. 40-FZ), for life insurance - 30 calendar days from the date of the event. Delay may be grounds for refusal to pay.

⚠️ Attention: If you are involved in an accident with injuries, first call the traffic police and an ambulance. An application to the insurance company can be submitted later, but no later than 5 days. The exception is the European protocol (registration without the traffic police), where the period is reduced to 1 working day.
