FAQs

After your account is set up, IRMI emails you or your account administrator instructions on how to register and create your individual password. You must register before you can log in. Registration is a simple, one-time-only process taking less than a minute.

To register, go to the IRMI Online Website.

• Click on the "Sign In" button located at the top right of your screen.
• In the blue box on the right, click on the phrase "New paid account? Register Here."
• On the next page, type in your six-digit "account number" and your "business email address," and then click on "submit."
• You will be asked to verify basic contact information and create your password and be given an opportunity to subscribe to our free email newsletters.
• Passwords must be at least seven characters long and contain at least one special character (anything that is not a number or a letter, like @ # $ % & !). 
• We strongly recommend that you sign up for The Electronic Owl to be notified when we add important information to your IRMI Online library.
• Once you have verified this information and chosen your preferred newsletters, click on "Register." When you see the message, "registration complete," check your business email box for a confirmation email from IRMI.
• In the email, click the link to confirm your account. Without doing this, you will not be able to log in.
• Once you are registered and confirmed, you are ready to use IRMI Online. Always log in with the email address that you used during registration since it is the only one our system will recognize whether you are in the office, at home, or traveling.

After you register and receive your password, you can now sign in and begin using IRMI Online. Passwords cannot be shared. To sign in:

• Click on the "Sign In" button at the top of the page on the right. Type in the email address you used when you registered. Then type in (or copy/paste) the password you chose during registration. Unless you are using someone else's computer, we recommend you click on "Remember Me."
• Now simply click the "Sign In" button. The first time you sign in, you will be asked to "Accept the terms of use." You will also be asked to “Activate this computer” each time you log in from a different computer. 
• You know you have successfully signed in when the button you originally clicked on at the top of the panel shows your registered name.

If you forget your password, go to the sign-in page and click on the phrase "Forgot your password." Then, type in the email address you registered with, and you will receive a message that a "Password Reset Request" has been sent to your email address. When you receive the email, please follow the instructions provided.

We recommend you change your password often for better security. To do so, after logging into the site, go to the top right corner of your screen and click on the "My Profile" link. Once the Profile page is visible, click on the "Change Password" button. You will receive a message that instructions will be sent to your email address. When you receive the email, please follow the instructions provided.

Passwords must be at least seven characters long and contain at least one special character (anything that is not a number or a letter, like @ # $ % & !).

After performing a search, click on the desired topic or category from the links that appear on the left-hand side of the screen.

• To limit your search only to specific coverage topics or IRMI publications such as property or liability, click in the box next to those that you wish to search. You may select more than one topic or IRMI publication. Now IRMI Online will search only the topics or publications you have selected.

The blank search field or Advanced Search cannot be used to find a workers comp code, CGL code, SIC code, NAICS code, etc. For detailed instructions on how to search for these codes, please refer to "How To Use the Classification Cross-Reference."

Click the "Next" icon at the bottom of the document window to navigate to the next page in IRMI Online. Similarly, clicking "Prev" will take you to the preceding page.

The IRMI Online Table of Contents is organized using broad "topic" folders, and the IRMI publications are within these "topic" folders. For example, the IRMI reference Commercial Liability Insurance is in the Commercial Liability Information folder. Simply expand the topic folder to view the publications within it. You can consult your IRMI Online My Access to determine the topic folder in which your publication(s) resides.

• Click on small arrow to the left of the folder or the folder itself to expand it to reveal the publications grouped in it.
