Is a title agency allowed to use the word "insurer" in its name instead of the word "agency"?

A title agency cannot use the word "insurer" in its name because this term is specifically reserved for entities that are licensed to underwrite insurance policies. The use of "insurer" implies that the agency has the authority to issue insurance, which is not the case for a title agency unless it holds the proper licensing. Title agencies typically provide services related to the issuance of title insurance but do not themselves underwrite insurance. Therefore, to maintain clarity and compliance with regulations, referring to a title agency as such is essential to prevent misleading consumers about the nature of the services provided. Using "agency" correctly identifies the business as one that operates within a defined scope, not as an insurance provider.
