Article L550-1 of the French Insurance Code

For the purposes of I of Article L. 512-1, agents who are not general insurance agents, who carry out their activity in the name and on behalf of an insurance undertaking and under its full responsibility, and who do not receive either premiums or sums intended for customers, may be registered on the intermediaries’ register by the undertaking which appoints them. This company is responsible for verifying that the intermediary meets the conditions governing access to and the exercise of the activity of intermediary.

In this case, the insurance undertaking is obliged to communicate to the body that keeps the register provided for in I of Article L. 512-1, at its request, any information necessary for verifying the conditions of access to and practice of the non-general insurance agents that it has registered.

A decree of the Conseil d’Etat shall specify the terms and conditions for the application of this article.
