Capital Area Process Service - Service on Florida Department of Financial Services & Registered Insurance Companies
Only Registered Insurance Compaines may be served in Florida. The Chief Financial Officer of Florida receives all process for Insurance Companies, pursuant to F.S. §48.151(3). Please review all documents to determine the actual name of the underwriting company (click on the link given above to search the Registered Insurance Company on-line database). Do no try to serve a "group" name! For example, there are several "State Farm" companies registered in Florida, but State Farm and State Farm Insurance Company or Companies are no among them and thus can NOT be served in Florida. Also, if you have multiple services for the Chief Financial Officer for different Insurance Companies, it is imperative that a separate check be made to the Department of Financial Services (the name of the Florida State Agency that the CFO is over), for EACH service! Otherwise, should there be any problem with one service, it will delay the service of all.When serving Insurance Companies, you must provide the following:
2 Summonses (or Subpoenas or Writs)
1 Copy of Complaint, Petition or other pleading
A Separate $15.00 check payable to the "Department of Financial Services" for each and every service being made. PURSUANT TO F.S. §624.502. Do Not put the name of the person holding the office of the Chief Financial Officer on any document. Your Summons or other writ should read as follows:
