Declaration (surplus lines business)

As a condition of transacting insurance business in the United States, the NAIC generally requires that individuals must provide an NAIC Biographical Affidavit. However, Lloyd’s has agreed with the NAIC that where individuals make the following declaration it is no longer necessary the NAIC Biographical Affidavit to be submitted. Lloyd’s therefore requires that all individuals appointed to one of the following positions must provide a declaration in the terms set out here. Individuals required to make the declaration include anyone appointed to be:

  1. A director of a managing agent or member’s agent
  2. An active underwriter
  3. A director or partner of an approved run-off company
  4. A run-off manager of an approved run-off company
  5. (If the appointment being notified is not to one of the above positions, the NAIC declaration does not apply)

If you are not the individual giving the declaration, then by clicking on the "Accept" button you are taken to be confirming that you have shown the declaration to the individual making the declaration (the "Applicant") and that you have their authority to confirm the following on their behalf. In all instances it is recommended that a record is kept evidencing that the individual making the declaration has seen it and, as appropriate, has agreed to it being made on his behalf.
