Where can I find a list of insurance codes?
This can be a little tricky, and take some work.
Insurance codes are assigned by each state to every company authorized to sell insurance within their state. (The state department of insurance decides which insurers can operate within their state.) You may need to know this information, for example, when you're filling out a car insurance claim form but don't know the insurance code for the other party's insurance provider.
Some states - such as Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York - make this information available online. Most states, however, don't do this, or bury the information so much that it's difficult to find.
So, if you live in one of those states, you've got a few ways to find out the insurance code you need.
You can call your insurance company or agent; either might be able to know the code for the other insurance carrier. You could also contact your state's department of insurance; you can find that phone number online or in the government section of your phone book. Lastly, you can call your state's driver license agency headquarters. Don't call your local branch because chances are no one there will have this information.
