Insurance Company Licensing
Consent to Engage in Business
The Omnibus Crime Bill disqualifies anyone convicted of a criminal felony involving dishonesty or a breach of trust or anyone who has been convicted of an offense under this section from employment in the insurance industry. This ban may be removed if approval is given by the Superintendent for the individual to remain or become employed in the insurance industry. This request can be made by completing the Application for Written Consent to Engage in the Business of Insurance.
Managing General Agents (MGA)
Every insurer must file appropriate forms within 30 days of appointing or terminating a person or entity as an MGA. MGA forms can be found on the Managing General Agent page.
Corporate Designee for Consumer Services (Reg 64)
The Department requires each insurer to designate one individual per insurer as corporate officer responsible for its internal consumer services department. Use the Corporate Designee form to submit, confirm or update the existing information in our records. The Department must be informed immediately whenever there is a change to any of the information on file with DFS.
Company Complaint Response System (CCRS)
The Company Complaint Response System can be found on the DFS Secure Portal. To access the CCRS for the first time, your company must first designate a Trusted Source(s) via the DFS Portal. The Trusted Source then authorizes other staff to use CCRS.
