Online AIG Customer Portal
Most AIG policies are accessible through the company's secure portal. Create an account with your Social Security number, date of birth, and policy number if you have it. Once logged in, you can view policy documents, download PDFs, and request updates.
When You Don't Have a Policy Number
If you lack the policy number, gather any of the following to verify ownership: a recent premium statement, the original application, or the insured's full name and date of birth. Call AIG's dedicated life‑insurance line (1‑800‑AIG‑LIFE) and provide these details; agents can retrieve the record and email or mail the documents.
State‑Based Unclaimed‑Property Searches
When AIG cannot locate a policy, check your state's unclaimed‑property database. Many states list dormant life‑insurance policies after a statutory period of inactivity. Search using the insured's name and last known address.
Third‑Party Aggregators
Services like PolicySearch.org and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (NAIC) Life Insurance Policy Locator can submit a request on your behalf. They require the same personal identifiers and may charge a nominal fee for processing.
Key Information to Confirm
- Policy number and type (term, whole, universal)
- Face value and cash‑value status
- Beneficiary designations and any recent changes
- Premium payment schedule and any missed payments
