It is critical to understand that the California FAIR Plan has no agents. When you submit business on behalf of a policyholder, you actually serve as their agent, not the California FAIR Plan’s. No one can bind coverage or commit the FAIR Plan in any way, and all business is conducted on a broker basis. Persons placing business with the FAIR Plan on behalf of his/her clients are referred to as insurance brokers.

In order to submit business to the FAIR Plan, you must complete a Broker Information Form. The completed form and a copy of your valid California Property-Casualty license can be emailed to cfpbrokers@cfpnet.com or faxed to (213) 487-6699.

Upon receipt of your information, it will take 24 to 48 hours to verify and process your information. After your information has been added to our Broker Database, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions to register on the Broker System on our website. The Broker System is used to submit new business, endorsements and cancellations.

All FAIR Plan informational updates will be sent to the email address on our broker system, so it is vital that your email address is kept current.

Read the Broker Manual for information on commissions, payment plans and other pertinent information.

All transactions must be submitted via the online system with the exception of the following:

• BOP New Business
• All CEA transactions
• All non new business/endorsement transactions (response to letters, policy level correspondence, etc.)

These transactions that fall outside of the Broker System should be submitted as follows:
