How to Verify a Carrier's License
Consumers should check the Massachusetts Division of Insurance website or call its consumer hotline. The online license lookup lets you search by company name and view active certificates, any past disciplinary actions, and the types of insurance the carrier is authorized to write.
What This Means for Residents
If you live in Massachusetts, you cannot purchase a new Colonial Penn life insurance policy directly. Existing policies that were issued before the company ceased selling in the state may remain in force, but you cannot add riders or increase coverage through Colonial Penn.
Alternative Options
Massachusetts residents can consider other insurers that are fully licensed in the state. Look for carriers with strong financial ratings from agencies such as A.M. Best or Moody's, and compare term, whole, and universal life products to match your needs.
Steps to Take
- Visit the Massachusetts Division of Insurance license lookup tool.
- Search for "Colonial Penn" to confirm its status.
- If unlicensed, research licensed carriers offering comparable term or whole life plans.
- Consult a licensed Massachusetts insurance agent for personalized quotes.
