Change of Address | Return to Bulleted List Agents Change of Address October 30, 1981 It has come to the attention of the Insurance Department that licensees have failed to notify the Department of change of residences and/or business address. Insurance Department Regulations (11 NYCRR 21.4, 22.3, 23.5, 25.4 and 26.6) require licensed brokers, agents and adjusters to notify the Insurance Department of any change of residence or business address as it occurs. Licensees are subject to departmental disciplinary action if they fail to meet this responsibility. In order to remind agents of their responsibility in respect to the aforementioned regulations, you are directed to inform all your agents individually, in writing, by January 1, 1982, of their responsibility to notify the Insurance Department of any change of residence or business address. In addition, you are directed to provide all newly hired agents with this information in writing. In addition, each time a business office is moved or an agent is reassigned to a different business office, you are directed to notify the affected agent(s), in writing, of this responsibility. All such notices to agents shall
include information that the agents should notify the Insurance
Department of any change of address by sending a letter clearly
stating the name or names under which such agent is licensed,
license number(s), current licensing statutes (for example, life
insurance agent, or property and casualty insurance agent) and the
new address(es) to: New York State Insurance Department
