Discovery Insure Tracker Fitment Certificate: The Document Behind the Claim
On a Discovery Insure policy the fitment certificate proves the approved tracker named on your schedule is actually installed - the security side of a relationship that, through Vitality Drive, already runs on data. The certificate is lodged via Discovery's app and kept against the policy.
This guide takes the Discovery angle: what a valid certificate contains, how the app handles it alongside your telematics record, the inception window, and how it survives reissues and car changes.

Vitality Drive measures how you drive; the fitment certificate proves a separate thing - that the recovery tracker is fitted to the insured car by an accredited installer on a dated record. Both feed a clean policy file.
At a theft claim Discovery checks back to that proof. Listed but uncertified is a condition claimed without evidence.
Issued by the installer
The certificate comes from the tracker provider's fitment centre at installation, not from Discovery. The main providers issue a broadly standard form.
Take it before leaving the bay; Discovery cannot generate it, and chasing it later is avoidable.
What the certificate must show
It should name the policyholder, the car by registration and VIN, the device by serial number, the install date and the installer's accreditation reference.
Invoices and portal screenshots are supporting only; the issued certificate is the document of record.
Lodging it in the app
Discovery accepts the certificate through its app against the policy, where it sits with the rest of your connected record. Filing it makes the security condition demonstrably met.
Mind the short post-inception window to install and file; miss it and theft cover is uncertain until the certificate lands.
Reissues and changing cars
A lost certificate is reissued from the provider's records within about a working day, at full weight; file the reissue and confirm the record.
A new car produces a new certificate for its registration and VIN, even with the device moved across; update both on the policy.
