Alien insurers are required to file annually by June 30 for the previous calendar year.
Why file with FSLSO?
The Florida Surplus Lines Service Office requires all eligible surplus lines insurers to file policy information pursuant to Florida Statute 626.921(3)(d). To perform a reconciliation of the policies written in the nonadmitted market, as provided by nonadmitted insurers, with the policies reported to the Service Office by the surplus lines agents and IPC filers, and prepare and deliver to the office a report on the results of the reconciliation in such a form as the commission may prescribe.
