Verified steps
Identify the correct ACORD XML line-of-business schema for the product being submitted (e.g., personal auto, homeowners, commercial package) via ACORD's Property & Casualty Data Standards.
Populate a new-business request transaction with applicant, policy, and risk/coverage data structured to the applicable schema.
Validate the message against the relevant XSD before transmission to catch structural or required-field errors early.
Transmit the request to the carrier's ACORD-compliant intake endpoint or clearinghouse.
Process the carrier's response transaction (quote or referral) and reconcile it against the original submission data.
Confirm the exact schema version and transaction-type naming against ACORD's current standards documentation or your ACORD membership access, since public verification of these specifics is limited.
Known gotchas
ACORD XML (real-time request/response) and AL3 (legacy batch/EDI) are distinct, non-interchangeable formats — don't conflate them when planning an integration.
Full ACORD XSD schemas and detailed transaction-type documentation are largely gated behind ACORD membership; public mirrors may be outdated, so verify current schema versions directly through ACORD before relying on any specific version number.
ACORD XML messages are a different technical artifact from ACORD's numbered paper/PDF forms even when they capture similar data — don't assume a direct field-for-field mapping without checking the actual schema.
