Georgia Surplus Lines case studies
Georgia Surplus Lines · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Georgia Surplus Lines Broker credential is a license issued by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire, the state office that "licenses and regulates insurance companies, investigates reports of insurance fraud, and inspects buildings to prevent fire." A surplus lines broker places coverage with insurers that are not licensed in Georgia, so the license sits alongside the adjuster, public adjuster, and counselor licenses on the OCI site under Agents & Agency Licensing, in the section titled "Licensed Adjusters, Public Adjusters, Counselors & Surplus Lines Brokers." Candidates typically come from the property and casualty side of the business, where hard-to-place risks - coastal property, specialty commercial lines, unusual liability exposures - cannot be written by admitted carriers.
