“The import of this adjustment is that effective from 1st September 2021, NAICOM’s operations will transmit from manual to online processing and all operational activities or issues concerning insurance institutions that require the commission’s attention, comment and approval will be submitted and processed via NAICOM Licensing System.
“Consequently, all insurance institutions are required to align their operations to NAICOM Portal for submission and processing of all requests such as certificate of registration/renewal; approval -In-Principle (AIP); product authorization; micro-insurance; takaful insurance; letter of request; financial statement approval; enforcement action; governance and complaints issues, etc.”
To this effect, there shall be no more manual submission of requests/applications, effective from 1st September 2021 except online through the designated portal.
