State Insurance Regulators

Each state has its own laws and regulations for all types of insurance, including car, homeowner and health insurance. The officials listed below enforce these laws. Many of these offices can provide you with information to help you make informed insurance buying decisions. Your local library also has information that can help you compare insurance companies before making a purchase.

If you have a question or complaint about your insurance company's policies, contact the company before you contact the state insurance regulator.
