A Surplus Lines Carrier, although approved to transact the business of insurance, is neither licensed nor regulated by the Virginia Bureau of Insurance. In the event of the insolvency of an approved surplus lines carrier, losses will not be paid by the Virginia Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association. Please refer to Question 14 under the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for additional information. Surplus lines carriers are approved for the placement of certain risks through licensed surplus lines brokers when coverage is unavailable from licensed insurers.Please be aware that although a company is authorized, it may not necessarily write your business. If you are having problems with availability, it is suggested that you contact your local agent or the Bureau at Bureau of Insurance or (804) 371-9741.
