What kind of background review check does the CDI perform on each application?
Prior to license issuance, the California Department of Insurance (CDI) completes detailed background checks on all license applications. This includes the receipt and review of criminal offender record information (CORI) from the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) resulting from the fingerprints submitted on each applicant. The National Association of Insurance Commissioner’s (NAIC’s) Regulatory Information Retrieval System (RIRS), State Producer Licensing Data Base (SPLD), and Special Activities Data Base (SAD) are also checked for any disciplinary actions.
