About Insurance Blueprint
We believe the insurance industry deserves modern, independent standards. Insurance Blueprint provides them — free for insurtechs, MGAs, and carriers, and independent from bureau control.
An open standard for the modern insurance industry
Insurance forms and data models have long been controlled by a small number of standards bodies, creating friction, cost, and compatibility problems across the industry. Insurance Blueprint was founded to change that.
We develop and maintain forms and a unified data schema available to qualified members — reviewed by practitioners, versioned transparently, and designed to integrate with modern insurance technology stacks.
- Free membership for insurtechs, MGAs, and carriers
- Practitioner-reviewed, not committee-driven
- Machine-readable first, human-readable always
- Semantic versioning with public changelogs
What we stand for
Qualified Access
Free membership for insurtechs, MGAs, and carriers. Bureau entities — ACORD, ISO-Verisk, IVANs, LexisNexis, and similar organizations — are excluded to protect the independence of the standard.
Transparency
Public changelogs, semantic versioning, and open governance. You always know what changed, when, and why — before you upgrade.
Practicality
Every form and data model is designed by practitioners who work in underwriting, claims, and technology — not by committee abstraction.
Interoperability
Standards only create value when systems can talk to each other. Our schemas are designed for clean integration between carriers, MGAs, vendors, and regulators.
From draft to published standard
Our review process is practitioner-led and publicly visible at every step.
Proposal
Anyone can submit a draft form or schema through our public repository.
Practitioner Review
Underwriters, attorneys, and technologists review for accuracy, completeness, and clarity.
Public Comment
A 30-day open comment period allows the broader community to weigh in before approval.
Published
Approved standards are published with full version history and migration documentation.
