In the United States, the regulatory authority over life insurance is typically held at the state level. Each state has its own insurance department or division that is responsible for regulating insurance companies and agents operating within that state. To find the address and phone number for your state's insurance department, you can start by searching online for "[your state] insurance department" or "[your state] department of insurance." This should lead you to the official website for your state's insurance department, where you can find contact information for the department, as well as information on how to file a complaint or report an issue with an insurance company or agent. Alternatively, you can also check the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) website at www.naic.org. The NAIC is a national organization of insurance regulators from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories. The NAIC website provides links to each state's insurance department, as well as information on insurance regulation and consumer protection.
