Find official insurance information
Rules vary by country, region and insurance product. Use these public resources to check a provider's permissions, consumer rights, policy rules and complaint options before relying on a general online guide.
United States
Insurance regulation is largely state-based. Start with your state's insurance department to check licensing and learn how to raise a complaint.
United Kingdom
Before buying regulated insurance, check the firm's permissions using the Financial Conduct Authority's official tools. A listing does not guarantee any particular policy is suitable.
Canada
Rules differ between provinces and territories. The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada explains how to identify insurance needs and links to provincial or territorial regulators.
Australia
Authorisation, prudential supervision, consumer protections and complaints may involve different organizations. Check the relevant product and provider before purchasing.
