An adviser is referred to as a person that, for compensation examines or offers to examine policy, annuity contract, or pure endowment contract for the purpose of giving or offers advice or information. Please select the correct license type. For questions contact the Maryland Insurance Administration Customer Service at 1-888-204-6198.
If adviser is the correct license selection, please submit your original bond in the amount of $1000.00 directly to the Maryland Insurance Administration to have the application resolved.
