Effortlessly Migrate Legacy Certificates in CertsNow with Certificate Hero
Let’s face it, legacy certificates are a headache. They’re clunky, outdated, and buried in paper files or old systems that no one wants to touch. But they still matter, especially when your business relies on compliance, fast-moving contracts, or efficient new client onboarding.
The good news? With Certificate Hero, converting those old certificates in CertsNow is no longer a time-consuming mess. It's fast, smart, and built for scale.
Here’s how it works and why it’s a game changer.
Why Legacy Certificates Are Holding You Back
Legacy COIs create bottlenecks across your operations. Whether you're issuing, tracking, or renewing them, manual handling increases:
- Time spent on data entry
- Errors in coverage or policy details
- Delays in contract approvals or job site access
- Risk of non-compliance
They’re more than outdated. They’re costing you time, money, and customer satisfaction.

Here's how the conversion process works:
