  1. When to make changes to an insurer licence

    All insurers doing business in the Yukon must hold a valid licence and renew it every year.

    Insurers must make changes to their current licence or update our office if:

    • the insurer’s business name has changed or the insurer wants to add or remove what insurance classes it offers;

    • the insurer wants to change its power of attorney; or

    • the insurer has changed its act, constitution, bylaws or regulations.

     


  2. Complete the appropriate process

    Add or remove a class of insurance, or update an insurer business name

    Before applying for a Yukon licence

    An insurer must:

    • change its licence with its incorporating regulator;

    • get proof of the incorporating regulator’s approval of changes; and

    • include this documentation with the application to change the Yukon licence.

    Apply to change the insurer licence for the Yukon

    • Go to the Canadian Council of Insurance Regulators (CCIR) website and download the insurer licence application form.

    • Don't complete the entire application. Complete only the sections that apply to making a change.

    • The CCIR form may need other documentation. If so, make sure to include this with your application to the Government of Yukon.
