The Nevada Division of Insurance announced it has redesigned and added new features to its Web site in an effort to promote ease of use for consumers and regulated entities.

According to the division, new features include:

o An enhanced consumers' page with answers to frequently asked questions and links to consumer guides, including the 2009-2010 "Nevada Consumer's Guide to Auto Insurance Rates."

o Free look-up capabilities on our home page allowing the public to check if an agent, producer or company is licensed.

o Site-search capabilities.

o Improved division contact information.

o New tools that licensees can use to manage continuing education requirements, license renewals, and fees.

o A "more user-friendly" list of required industry reports for insurers, with quick links to applicable Nevada Revised Statutes and Nevada Administrative Codes.

The division said the site has also been reorganized, with information separated into categories designed to appeal to the perspective of the person visiting the site: consumers, captive insurers, insurers, producers and self-insureds.
