California has set criteria for an insurance UNDERWRITER to become approved to issue insurance.

Start with the California Department of Insurance. Their website is: www.insurance.ca.gov

Were can you go to get title insurance?

Look for a licensed title insurance agent with an office in the state you are transacting business in. You can contact your state insurance administration for information or a list of licensed agents in your state or look on line for a licensed title insurance agent in your local area. I would recommend confirming they are licensed and bonded. You can also check other qualifications by looking for a title company affiliated with local chambers of commerce and or professional associations like ALTA.

What is a NJ resident title producers license?

In NJ you must have a title insurance producer's license in order to effect or sell title insurance. A "resident" producer's license is for someone residing (a resident) in the state of New Jersey. A "foreign" producer's license would be someone living outside of NJ, but effecting or selling title insurance. A licensed title producer can: perform title examinations, prepare title commitments/binders, give title insurance quotes, sell title insurance products/services, perform real estate closings/settlements and issue title insurance policies. Anyone receiving title insurance commissions must be licensed, including attorneys. A non-licensed person working in a title agency may perform administrative acts only that do not involve the above, which are considered "effecting and selling" title insurance. A resident producer is licensed bi-annually and required to take Continuing Education during each licensing period.

When purchasing or refinancing a home, you will have settlement conducted by a Title Company, the title company is also the licensed title insurance provider. Up to two policies will be issued. Maryland Specific: If you are purchasing a property and taking out a loan, the lender will require a Lenders Title Insurance Policy.

Each State is different. In Maryland we are governed by the Maryland Insurance Administration. We also have to abide by RESPA rules and regulations, and the guidelines set forth by our Title insurance underwriters. Typically, it is the state's Department of Insurance or Banking and Insurance that oversees the Underwriters and Agencies. That does not mean that each state has licensing requirements in order to effect title, but simply that the title insurance process of issuing insurance policies for title is regulated by the state.
