Bulletin: ID000006

Dear Associates:

As most of you know, the Department of Insurance of the State of Idaho has taken the position that many, if not all, miscellaneous reports currently provided by policy issuing agents fall within the definition of title insurance and must be filed and approved for use in the state, either by the Company or the policy issuing agent, as applicable.

It has come to my attention that some policy issuing agencies are issuing various reports called Foreclosure Reports, Memorandums of Title and similar names written upon the letterhead of the policy issuing agent. Stewart Title Guaranty Company does not utilize or condone the issuance of these reports that to date have been submitted for review upon the letterhead of Stewart. We certainly recognize that you may have needs to utilize such reports unique to your area.

The Company has filed and the Department of Insurance has approved for use in the State of Idaho various CLTA Guarantee Forms, including Trustee's Sale Guarantee, Litigation Guarantee, Recorded Document Certificate, Recorded Instrument Guarantee, etc. These are the only miscellaneous report forms that a policy issuing agency may utilize which bears the name of Stewart.

If you need to utilize any of the foregoing types of reports, other than those filed and approved by the Department by Stewart, you need to make such applications and filings that are appropriate with the Department of Insurance of the State of Idaho.

Of course, if I can do anything to assist you, please call.
