Need support? You are welcome to email us to check if your documents and forms are in order. Please email customer_care.kh@fwd.com.

Original

Policy document

Certified true copy
Certified true copy means it's a signed copy of an original document. This then needs a new signature from you, the claimant (even if it's already been signed by you or somebody else).

Death certificate – this must be sign by a government officer to sign-off on your original documents.
The insured and claimant’s ID card – must be signed by the claimant to sign-off on your original documents.
Any loss of life from non-natural causes must be signed by the police or relevant government authority to sign-off on your original documents.
Non-natural causes include an accidental death, murder (homicide), suicide, a death caused by an animal, or any death with undetermined causes. For these non-natural deaths, we need:
- Police report
- Autopsy report (in case of autopsy)

Need your paperwork back?
If you can only send original copies then please let us know if you need any paperwork back and we will post it back to you.

Your questions answered

We believe it's part of our job to make the claims experience as easy as possible. These are some of the questions you might have and the answers we can give you. If you’re unsure about anything, simply get in touch.

When will you make a decision on my claim?

We aim to make a claims decision within 14 working days after we’ve received all completed forms and all the documents we need. Please ensure you send us everything we need as we can’t start to process your claim until we have everything we need.

Please note that occasionally we need more time to make a decision on a claim. This could be for a number of reasons - for example the type of claim, how complex the case is, and whether we have all the information and documents we need.

How and when will you pay me?

Once your claim is approved, we'll send a cheque. For some claims you can select your preferred method to receive your claim. If this is the case, we’ll highlight this on the claims form. We aim to make all claims payments within five working days.

After I've made a claim, how long should I keep my original documents?

Please keep all original copies of any documents until we make a claim decision. This is because occasionally we need to see these to either verify a claim or as part of our own internal auditing and checks.

Frequently asked questions

How can I check my claim status?

You can contact our customer service at +855 87 33 99 82 or +855 78 33 99 88.

If the beneficiary is minor, how should I proceed with a death claim?

The minor’s father, mother, or legal guardian should file the claim.

If the insured has died, does the beneficiary or the guardian of the beneficiary have to pay the life insurance premium when it is due?

No, the beneficiary doesn't have to pay any premiums. Note that we'll deduct any premiums owed or policy debt from any claim amount we pay.

If the insured or premium payer has been totally and permanently disabled or has passed away and FWD has received the claim documents but not completed the claim process, does the insured or the guardian of the beneficiary have to continue paying life insurance premium when they are due?

Yes, the insured or guardian of the beneficiary has to pay the due premiums in order to keep the policy active. When the claim process is completed and any premiums waived, we will refund any premiums as applicable.
