I am planning to purchase the policy online and have the papers delivered to the US. We will deliver the papers to your parents in India. You will also be getting an online policy, which would be digitally signed and would be valid throughout the world, once you make a payment the policy would be instantly generated and your parents in India can take printouts immediately.
Even if the policy is lost all you need to do is login to our website through your login id and password and take a printout instantly
