Binding Authority Registration (BAR)

The following information and links will help brokers and direct-dealing managing agents to register binding authorities. Managing agents can also view the binding authorities that they lead.

• What does BAR do?

  Binding authority agreements are contracts which set out the scope of delegated authority and so allow coverholders to enter into contracts of insurance and to issue insurance documents on behalf of Lloyd's managing agents. Binding authorities are registered online on the Binding Authority Registration (BAR) website.
  
  Which binding authorities need to be registered?
  
  All binding authorities (other than restricted binding authorities) must be registered.
