Currently it is possible to "Create without NIPR" when adding a firm to SureLC, even if the EIN is found in the NIPR database.  Beginning Friday, November 22nd, all firms whose EIN is found in the NIPR database will need to be added using the "Retrieve from NIPR" option so that their correct NPN and state licenses are added to their SureLC profile.

 

Firms whose EIN is NOT found in NIPR may still be added using the "Create without NIPR" option.  Firms that are added to SureLC without NIPR initially, but whose EIN is later found to exist in the NIPR database will have their SureLC profiles updated to include their real NPN and state licenses automatically.

 

This change will allow SuranceBay to continue providing the most effective validation of contracting compliance to our clients and carrier partners.
