What We Do

The North Carolina Surplus Lines Association (NCSLA) is a non-profit regulatory support organization of more than 4,000 surplus lines licensees committed to the wholesale distribution system and the surplus lines industry.

The NCSLA consists of resident and non-resident surplus lines licensees, as well as associate member companies interested in obtaining knowledge of the North Carolina surplus lines market.

Our mission is to provide regulatory compliance, communication, education, filing procedures and industry representation to ensure the financial integrity and the stability of the non-admitted market in North Carolina.

Communicate with organizations of admitted insurers with respect to the proper use of the surplus lines market.
Receive and disseminate to surplus lines licensees information about surplus lines insurance, including, without limitation, new electronic filing procedures approved by the Commissioner, changes in the list of eligible surplus lines insurers, and modifications in coverages, procedures, and requirements as may be requested by the Commissioner.
Establish a stamping office to process all surplus lines insurance and remit premium taxes for those coverages under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 58-21-85 by means satisfactory to the Commissioner.
Perform networking, regulatory and legislative activities on behalf of its members.
Hold annual meetings with industry speakers and continuing education opportunities.
