Chapter 3 - Authorization of Insurers.
Section 27-3-5 - Authority to Transact Insurance - Use of Name by Insurer.

(a) No insurer shall be authorized to transact insurance which has or uses a name so similar to that of another insurer already so authorized as likely to mislead the public.
(b) No life insurer shall be so authorized which has or uses a name deceptively similar to that of another insurer authorized to transact insurance in this state within the preceding 10 years if life insurance policies originally issued by such other insurer are still outstanding in this state.
(c) No insurer shall be so authorized which has or uses a name which tends to deceive or mislead as to the type of organization of the insurer.
(d) In case of conflict of names hereafter between two insurers, or a conflict otherwise prohibited under the foregoing subsections of this section, the commissioner may permit or require, as a condition to the issuance of an original certificate of authority to an applicant insurer, that such insurer shall use in Alabama such supplementation or modification of its name or such business name as may reasonably be necessary to avoid such conflict. No such name, supplementation, or modification shall contain the principal identifying factor contained in the name of any other insurer already authorized to transact insurance in this state.
