    If your home state doesn't require it, then you don't need it.

    All states allow sole proprietors to exempt themselves from Work Comp insurance but companies you lease on to can require you have it in their contracts.

    Your home state must require WC.
    Mine doesn't, and I have never ran into this with a broker.

    The broker will have a clause in their contract, some more extravagant than others but in the end they are just saying that your signature is your agreement that you are in compliance with your state law. Never had I have one require a certificate as proof.
