A. To be eligible to be considered for licensure within the State of Rhode Island, all foreign insurance companies must file an application following the standards established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' Uniform Certificate of Authority Application (NAIC UCAA). Such applications must be filed using the NAIC UCAA's Expansion Application.
