November 15, 2022: The California Department of Insurance has issued a Notice advising all California agents, adjusters, agencies, and others of new legal requirements pertaining to email communications. Effective January 1, 2023, California licensed insurance agents, adjusters, brokers, and other licensees will be required to include their license number on email communications. This applies to any email from any account that pertains to any activity for which the licensee must hold a license. The license number must be displayed below or adjacent to the licensee’s title in a font no smaller than the licensees other contact information. If the agent is representing one or more agencies, then the agency’s license number needs to be listed as well.
