Cevap
Domestic matches with incorporated in the specific state; Foreign matches with incorporated in another U.S. state; Alien matches with organized outside the United States; Authorized matches with granted a Certificate of Authority; Unauthorized matches with operating without a Certificate of Authority via surplus lines.
Insurers are legally classified by two primary regulatory factors: where they are incorporated (domicile) and whether they are formally approved to operate in a specific state (authorization). Domicile distinguishes between Domestic (same state), Foreign (different U.S. state), and Alien (outside the U.S.). Authorization status determines if they are Authorized (holding a state-issued Certificate of Authority) or Unauthorized (non-admitted, operating via surplus lines).
