There are two exemptions:
- The D-1 form is not required if the insured qualifies as an Industrial Insured as defined in California Insurance Code § 1764.1(c)(1). Note: A Commercial Insured, as defined in California Insurance Code § 1760.1(b) (also known as an Exempt Commercial Purchaser), is different from an Industrial Insured and is not exempt from the D-1 requirement.
- A signed D-1 is not required for policies renewed with the same carrier. The form is required only when the original policy is bound.
