The Florida Insurance
Commissioner There are two different ways you serve the Insurance Commissioner. The first is if they are being served on behalf of an insurance company doing business in the state of Florida. It is imperative that the insurance company be listed exactly as it is recorded with the Florida Secretary of State (850) 488-9000, or the service will be invalid and must be re-served. When serving them this way the following documents are required... Three (3) Summons Example heading of summons
- If serving a subpoena or other process remember you must send a total of three sets for proper service. One will be returned with the server's seal & affidavit. Don’t forget a check for $15.00 to the Insurance Commissioner. The second way to serve the Insurance Commissioner is if they are being served on behalf of another municipality or governmental agency which is being sued. This is pursuant to F.S. 768.28(7). When serving the Insurance Commissioner in this capacity you do not need the extra copies or the $15.00 fee. It is just like serving any other document; however, you should list on the summons that you are serving the Insurance Commissioner pursuant to F.S. 768.28(7). Example heading of summons
