New Brunswick insurance licence lookup.
The Financial and Consumer Services Commission (FCNB) licenses insurance intermediaries in New Brunswick and publishes five public databases. This page explains them and links to them; it checks nothing itself.
Short answer: FCNB says any person doing insurance business in New Brunswick as an agent or adjuster must hold a valid licence under the province’s Insurance Act, resident or not. Check the database that matches who you are dealing with.
Which FCNB database to use
FCNB’s Insurance Licences page lists these databases for licence status: insurers; agencies (brokerages) and managing general agents; adjusting firms; agents (brokers) and adjusters; and restricted insurance representatives.
Individual licence types FCNB lists include life, accident and sickness, general (Level 1, 2 or 3) and travel insurance agents, special insurance brokers, and assistant, regular and senior adjusters. Firm licence types are agency, adjusting firm, managing general agent and restricted insurance representative.

Sponsorship and adjusters
FCNB says an agent or broker must be licensed and sponsored by a licensed insurance company (an insurer); this requirement does not apply to adjusters. All agent and broker applications must be sponsored by an insurer licensed for the same type of insurance business in the province.
What FCNB does not do
FCNB says it cannot set automobile insurance rates (regulated by the New Brunswick Insurance Board), investigate complaints about premiums (contact the Consumer Advocate for Insurance), or answer specific questions about your policy.
