In today's regulatory environment, navigating the intricacies of licensing applications is pivotal for business entities operating within the insurance sector. One such critical document, the FIS 0202 form issued in April 2008 by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation, serves as the foundation for businesses seeking a resident business entity insurance license in the state. This comprehensive document requests detailed information including the Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), business entity name, dates of incorporation or formation, and, if applicable, the National Producer Number (NP#) and any Central Registration Depository (CRD) numbers associated with the NASD Firm. It further delves into the affiliations of the business entity, particularly its relationships with financial institutions or banks, requiring complete transparency. The form also outlines the necessity to list all assumed, fictitious, alias, or trade names under which business is conducted, emphasizing the state's commitment to clarity and accountability in business operations. Critical too, is the requirement to identify at least one designated responsible licensed producer along with the identification of all owners, partners, officers, directors, members, or managers, which underlines the importance of personal accountability and integrity in the financial and insurance realms. In addition to providing general business information, applicants are obliged to disclose past criminal convictions, involvement in administrative proceedings related to professional licenses, any history of bankruptcy, delinquent tax obligations, and participation in lawsuits or arbitration proceedings involving allegations of financial misconduct. This level of rigorous scrutiny highlights the thorough approach taken by Michigan's regulatory body to safeguard the interests of consumers and maintain the integrity of the insurance industry. Conclusively, the intricate details required by the FIS 0202 form underscore its significance in the application process for an insurance license in Michigan, delineating the pathway for compliance with state regulations.
