Service overview
An insurance surveyor is a specialist professional engaged in assessment and reporting of insured losses.
A company certificate does not itself authorise a regulated business. Depending on the activity, SECP may require prior formation permission, incorporation, a separate operational licence, and continuing financial and fit-and-proper compliance.
Who is eligible for Insurance Surveyor Licensing?
The proposed surveyor must meet line-specific education, experience and integrity criteria.
Surveying-company and authorised-officer requirements differ; qualifications, surveying class and independence must correspond to the line of insurance to be assessed. A registered insurer or ordinary loss adjuster is not automatically approved.
