NAIC National Association of Insurance Commissioners

National Association of Insurance Commissioners Life Insurance Policy Locator

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) currently provides the Life Insurance Policy Locator service to assist consumers and family members in locating life insurance policies and annuity contracts of a deceased family member. The service is a free online tool that was launched in 2016 and is available on the NAIC’s website.

Upon submission of a request to obtain life insurance policy information, the NAIC asks participating companies to search their records to determine whether they have a life insurance policy or annuity contract in the name of the deceased individual.

If a life insurance policy is located, the insurance company will respond to the requestor, if that individual is the designated beneficiary or is authorized to receive the policy information.

Workers' Compensation Proof of Coverage Search

The Division of Workers' Compensation Proof of Coverage search allows you to verify the entities you do business with have proper workers' compensation insurance coverage. If an individual you've hired to perform work on your property does not have proper coverage, you could be held responsible for any injury or damage that occurs. This could include bodily injury to an individual or even damage caused to neighboring properties.

Never allow a contractor to inspect your property, including your roof, until you have verified that they are a licensed, reputable contractor with proper workers' compensation coverage. Contractors should be willing to provide you with evidence of their Certificates of Insurance for General Liability and Workers’ Compensation.
