Who is required to notify the superintendent of a licensee's change of address?

The requirement for notifying the superintendent of a licensee's change of address falls on the licensee themselves because they hold personal responsibility for maintaining accurate information in their licensing records. This obligation is a fundamental part of professional accountability in the insurance industry.

When a licensee updates their residence or business address, it's essential for regulatory compliance, as the superintendent must have up-to-date contact information for all licensees to ensure proper communication and oversight. This helps facilitate notifications regarding licensing updates, renewals, potential disciplinary actions, and other important communications that may affect the licensee's standing.

Other parties, such as the employer or clients, do not have the authority or responsibility to report changes in the licensee's personal information. Therefore, it is essential for the individual licensee to ensure that the superintendent is notified directly to maintain their compliance with the regulations of Massachusetts insurance laws.
