Letter of No Objection

All domestic regulated entities are required to comply with the provisions of La. R.S. 22:41.3. This statute became effective August 1, 2021, but the requirement was previously contained in LAC37:XXIII. Chapter 5L (Regulation 66). This includes all domestic insurers, third party administrators, mutual holding companies and other entities which are licensed, registered or certified by the Louisiana Department of Insurance. The definition does NOT include insurance agencies, producers or adjusters. Prior to serving as an officer, director or trustee of a domestic regulated entity, an individual must submit certain items to the Louisiana Department of Insurance in support of a request for a letter of no objection. The request must be submitted no more than thirty days from the date of election or appointment as an officer, director or trustee.

The Louisiana Department of Insurance (LDI) accepts electronic submission of the application. The applicant should contact the LDI prior to submission to make arrangements for a secure portal for such a submission. Submission of sensitive or confidential information via standard email is not recommended.

The submission must include all of the following:

• A formal request for a letter of no objection from the domestic regulated entity. This request must include the name, proposed position and the date of election or appointment of the individual for whom the request is being made.


• A biographical affidavit form completed by the individual for whom the request is being made.


• A conflict of interest statement completed by the individual for whom the request is being made.


• An oath of officer or director's acceptance of trust form completed by the individual for whom the letter is being requested. The forms provided are for convenience and the domestic regulated entity may develop a form in lieu of the provided forms.


• Written confirmation that third party verification reports have been requested as required by the LDI. Include the name of the firm from which the requests were made and the date of the request and payment. Click here to see instructions on ordering third party verification reports.
