The acquisition and maintenance of resident and out-of-state title agency licenses can be a confusing and arduous task. Notwithstanding the attempt by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to centralize and unify the nationwide title agency licensing process, each state has its own peculiar rules, regulations and customs. Furthermore, with the advent of the internet and the centralization of processing, it has basically become a necessity to be licensed in as many states as possible. Having many state licenses means capitalizing on opportunities with regional or national lenders.

Of course, this is easier said than done. Fifty jurisdictions mean fifty different sets of rules, regulations, and requirements, which are fraught with pitfalls and always subject to change. Most title agencies need to consult with a title agency licensing expert who can provide them with advice on licensing strategically.
