Insurance Documentation Insurance documentation must be submitted to the Toronto Film, Television & Digital Media Office (TFTDMO) in order to be issued a location filming permit. The City of Toronto requires evidence of insurance, in the form of a certificate of insurance, adding the City as additional insured from all permit applicants. This is to protect the City's interests in the event of a third party claim arising from the permit applicant's operations. Click on the help icon to see the legally binding text.
