How Long Does It Take To Underwrite A Life Insurance Policy? 
That will depend on your age , health , and the amount of coverage desired . I have seen young folks get underwritten in one day , while most adults will take about three days , with some more complex health matters taking several days . If your doctor submits your medical file promptly , you should not expect much delay . It is critical to get your doctor to act .
