The North Carolina Department of Insurance is a state agency that regulates the insurance industry in North Carolina, licenses insurance professionals and related entities, and educates consumers about different types of insurance while handling complaints. It also houses the Office of State Fire Marshal and engages in activities beyond regulation, including interpreting building codes and proposing updates to improve public safety. The department licenses bail bondsmen, oversees motor clubs and collection agencies, and operates an Investigations Division with sworn law enforcement officers to deter fraud and illegal activity. It maintains insurance coverage for state-owned buildings, including the Battleship North Carolina in Wilmington and university campuses, and administers the Seniors' Health Insurance Information Program to help older residents with Medicare and Medicaid questions. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, the department serves residents statewide, and in May 2026 announced the launch of a protected cell captive platform for mid-market businesses, signaling ongoing expansion of its captive insurance capabilities.
