Definition: Insurance naic number is an insurance identification number in many countries that are used for insurance purposes. In Canada, it is a unique identifier assigned to every individual who has purchased or owned an insurance policy through their employerβs insurance department. The Insurance Naic Number (INN) is 13 digits long and consists of three letters followed by a two-digit sequence of numbers from 00 to 99. It is used for a variety of purposes, such as: - Identifying individuals in the United States: In the US, it is used to verify ownership of insurance policies. - Tracking insurance claims: An INN can also be used for tracking insurance claims and identifying potential fraud or errors in claims processing. - Reporting insurance data: In some jurisdictions, insurers may need a specific number assigned to each claim, such as an INN. In the United Kingdom, it is known as the Insurance Reference Number (IRN), which is 10 digits long. It consists of two digits for the first six characters (the first three letters of the country name) and four more characters for the last five digits. The purpose of having a specific number assigned to each insurance policy or claim can help in tracking claims, preventing fraud, and ensuring compliance with regulations such as the Uniform Commercial Code in many countries.
