Registered owner now required for certain policies in eCLIQ®
As of April 8, certain policies entered into eCLIQ may require you to provide the name of the registered vehicle owner for each vehicle on the policy. If the policy does require this, you will be prompted to provide registered vehicle owners for all new business and for any vehicle or endorsement you add at renewal. This requirement applies in all states.
This is a proactive measure to ensure we have accurate information when LexisNexis<sup>®</sup> becomes the official vendor to report data to the DMV on Liberty Mutual’s behalf. Some states already require this, while other states are soon to follow.
LexisNexis requires that the registered vehicle owner is reported for each and every vehicle. If a registered owner is not provided, then LexisNexis will default to the first named insured.

Post-bind verification of year-built information
Effective April 25, as part of a broader effort to improve data accuracy and support rate stability in California, we’ll begin expanding post-bind reviews of new and renewing small commercial policies to those where the agent has overridden the prefilled Year built value in eCLIQ. We use a third-party vendor to prefill year-built values for commercial properties, and in most cases these values are accurate, so we want to make sure all overridden values are valid.
After attempting to validate a year-built override, if we cannot find publicly available information that confirms the value an agent has provided, we will revert the policy to the year-built value provided by our vendor, which may affect its rating and premium. Note that we will email you from Underwriting_Support@LibertyMutual.com if we plan to make a change to a policy after our review.
With your help, we can stabilize rates to provide a better experience for your clients and grow your agency’s book. If you have questions about this new post-bind verification process, contact your underwriter or territory manager.

Florida Insurance Guaranty Association surcharge update
The Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (FIGA) handles the claims of insolvent property and casualty insurance companies in the state. To secure funds to settle these claims, FIGA requires solvent insurers, including Liberty Mutual, to apply a surcharge on certain policies covering exposures in Florida.
What does this mean for your clients?
- If they are paying in installments, we will apply the FIGA assessment to the balance and the policyholder will be billed over remaining installments.
- If your customer paid the premium in full, we will apply a charge to the account and a bill will be provided for the amount of the FIGA assessment.
