Insurance Acts and Regulations

The Insurance Act of New Brunswick exists to govern the people and companies that provide insurance products, and to protect the consumers who buy insurance. The Act is administered through regulation, oversight, and licensing of insurers and intermediaries.

Any person who carries on the business of an insurance agent, broker, adjuster in New Brunswick, whether or not that person is a resident of the province, must have a valid licence issued under the Act. This applies to all insurance business, whether it is done in person, in writing, over the telephone or online.

Please contact the Consumer Advocate for Insurance if you are seeking general information on insurance issues, assistance in finding insurance or advice on dealing with a claim.
