The North Dakota Insurance Department, established in 1889, is a state regulatory agency headed by the Insurance Commissioner. The Department maintains offices on the fifth floor of the State Capitol and at 1640 Burnt Boat Dr.
Our team members serve the public. The majority of employees are devoted to insurance regulation. A smaller number of employees perform the separately-funded functions assigned to the Department by the Legislative Assembly. All fees and fines paid by companies or agents are deposited into the Insurance Regulatory Trust Fund, from which the money to operate the Department is appropriated by the Legislature. The state of North Dakota is part of the U.S. insurance regulatory framework which is a highly coordinated state-based national system designed to protect policyholders and to serve the greater public interest through the effective regulation of the U.S. insurance marketplace. Through the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), U.S. insurance regulators establish national standards and best practices, conduct peer reviews and coordinate their regulatory oversight to better protect the interests of consumers while ensuring a strong, viable insurance marketplace. insurance regulators also participate in the International Association of Insurance Supervisors along with the NAIC by participating in major standard setting initiatives, including working with fellow regulators from around the world to better supervise cross-border insurers, identifying systemic risk in the insurance sector, and creating international best practices.
