Register for the Webinar
We will be hosting a Louisiana SLIP+ Onboarding Webinar on Thursday, June 25th at 3PM EDT (2PM CDT) in preparation for the July 1 Louisiana SLIP+ go-live.
Beginning July 1, 2026, surplus lines agents can begin submitting transactions in SLIP+ for States. SLIP+ for States is a reporting and payment platform for surplus lines agents, marking an exciting new change for surplus lines compliance in Louisiana.
Louisiana policies effective on or after July 1, 2026, and endorsements on those policies, should be filed in SLIP+. All transactions reported in SLIP+ for States will be subject to a 0.175% SLIP+ transaction fee.
Policies, and endorsements on policies, effective prior to July 1, 2026, will continue to be reported to the Louisiana Department of Insurance (LDI) in the Industry Access Portal until the policy is cancelled or renewed.
For more information, please visit the Louisiana page on slipplus.com and review the Frequently Asked Questions.
Louisiana Reporting Requirements in SLIP+ for States
With the transition to SLIP+ for States, LDI has implemented a few changes in the reporting requirements for surplus lines brokers.
Agent Reporting: All filings must be submitted under the individual surplus lines agent’s license number. As a result, each licensed surplus lines agent conducting business in Louisiana must register for a SLIP+ account. For assistance in obtaining a surplus lines agent license, please visit the LDI Producer Licensing page or contact Producer Licensing at producerlicensing@ldi.la.gov.
Agency Accounts: Agencies reporting on behalf of two or more agents may create a SLIP+ Agency Account. Agency Accounts allow agencies to file and pay for multiple agents under one login. To create an Agency Account, at least two individual agent accounts must already be registered in SLIP+.
Louisiana Data Elements: With the transition to SLIP+, the LDI will begin collecting policy-level data on all Louisiana policies. A complete list of the Louisiana SLIP+ data elements are available on the Resources page on slipplus.com.
Updated Tax Invoicing: Louisiana R.S. Title 22, §439 requires surplus lines taxes to be split as follows:
96% allocated to the state general fund
4% allocated to the Louisiana Fire Marshal Fund
We encourage all filers to attend the Louisiana webinar for a guided introduction to the updates being made to Louisiana’s reporting systems, promoting a robust and transparent surplus lines market. Webinar participants can ask questions and get clarification for the future of surplus lines reporting in Louisiana.
