This law says an insurance company must send the state a copy of its formation papers and any changes to its money amount before it can start doing business there.

Key Takeaways

  • •The insurer must file paperwork before it can be admitted to do business.
  • •The paperwork includes the articles of incorporation.
  • •If the insurer’s capital stock goes up or down, it must also file a certified copy of that change.

Example

A new car insurance company wants to sell policies in the state.

Before it can sell any policies, it has to give the state’s insurance commissioner a copy of its articles of incorporation and a certified copy showing any increase or decrease in its capital stock, just like the paperwork it filed with the Secretary of State.
