The state of Wyoming is part of the U.S. insurance regulatory framework which is a highly coordinated state-based national system designed to protect policyholders and to serve the greater public interest through the effective regulation of the U.S. insurance marketplace. Through the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), U.S. insurance regulators establish national standards and best practices, conduct peer reviews and coordinate their regulatory oversight to better protect the interests of consumers while ensuring a strong, viable insurance marketplace. U.S. insurance regulators also participate in the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) along with the NAIC by participating in major standard setting initiatives, including working with fellow regulators from around the world to better supervise cross-border insurers, identifying systemic risk in the insurance sector, and creating international best practices. |  The mission of this agency is to enforce the insurance
laws and regulations of the State impartially, honestly, and expeditiously; to
serve the consumer of insurance; to encourage a healthy insurance marketplace;
and to promote change to better serve the public interest. To this end, the
highest ethical, professional, and work quality standards will be exercised in
all formal and informal relationships with individuals, agencies, and companies
affected by the policies and actions of the department. It is our commitment to
be the best insurance regulatory agency in the United States. Tom Glause, Insurance Commissioner Wyoming Insurance Department 106 E. 6th Avenue Cheyenne, WY 82002 (307) 777-7401 (800) 438-5768 |
