Accredited reinsurer application
Reinsurance credit is permitted under the provisions of ND Cent Code Section 26.1-31.2-01, subsection 2, when the assuming insurer is accredited as a reinsurer in North Dakota. ND Admin Code Section 45-03-07.1-02 also contains requirements for accreditation. An insurer seeking to be registered in North Dakota as an accredited reinsurer must submit a complete application consisting of a request letter and the following information:
- Certificate of Assuming Insurer AR-1 (SFN 53913) completed and signed by the applicant.
- A certified copy of a certificate of authority or other evidence showing that the applicant is licensed to transact insurance or reinsurance in at least one state. In the case of a US branch of an alien assuming insurer, the applicant must submit evidence that it is entered through and licensed to transact insurance or reinsurance in at least one state.
- Most recent annual statement and audited financial statement filed with the applicant's state of domicile. In the case of an alien assuming insurer, the annual statement and audited financial statement filed with the state through which the applicant is entered and in which it is licensed.
Reinsurance credit is allowed only for the cessions of a kind or class of business that the Accredited Reinsurer is licensed or otherwise allowed to write or assume in its state of domicile, or in the case of a US branch of an alien assuming insurer, in the state through which it is entered and licensed.
The Insurance Department will issue an approval letter if the application is approved. An application may be filed at any time throughout the year. All applications and fees should be directed to:
