Effectively, this is the responsible party that ensures all aspects of the surplus lines placement are compliant with specific state regulations. This individual or agency is also responsible for reporting the placement to the affected state as required by that state's statutes.

A surplus lines carrier is an insurance company that provides coverage for risks that standard insurers typically do not underwrite due to their unconventional or high-risk nature. These carriers operate in a specialized market and are not necessarily licensed in every state, allowing them more flexibility in their underwriting and pricing practices. Surplus lines insurance is often used for unique or niche businesses, high-value properties, or specialized liability coverage. To engage with a surplus lines carrier, brokers must be licensed to place such insurance, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Specialty types of insurance such as this are best found through a broker. A broker, as distinct from an agent, usually has access to many markets for insurance, and work on behalf of the buyer of insurance. In contrast, historically, an agent works on behalf of one or a couple of insurers and therefore has access to a smaller variety of coverage. You may have to go to a "surplus lines" company for this kind of coverage. This is an insurer that sometimes writes "odd" sorts of risks that are not insurable through the customary insurance market. You will need to consult a surplus lines broker to deal with a surplus lines insurer. You must be very careful to make sure that whatever insurer you do use is legitimate. There have been many scams over the years where con artists have set up "fronts" that look like insurers, but which have no financial substance and have no intention of paying claims. Check with the insurance department of your state to ensure that the company is authorized to transact insurance in the state. If you go through a surplus lines company, there may be a separate entity called a Surplus Lines Service (or Stamping) Office. Surplus lines companies are regulated differently than domestic insurers, however, the regulation that is afforded provides a measure of security.
