Writing Carriers, NAIC Codes, and Company Numbers

The Writing Carriers and NAIC Codes table in Carrier/MGA Setup lists each of the carrier/MGA's writing carriers (a.k.a. sub-carriers) and their associated NAIC codes. Agencies writing auto policies in states that require a Company Number on Auto ID cards can also configure that value for each writing carrier here.

1. Click + Add Writing Carrier and NAIC Codes.

   The Writing Carrier Details dialog appears.

2. Enter the full legal name of the Writing Carrier and their associated NAIC Code.

   If this carrier does not have any sub-carriers, enter the full legal name of the carrier and their NAIC code as the single Writing Carrier.

3. Conditional: Add any number of State-Specific Company Number(s).

   1. Click the + New button to enter a state's Company Number.

   2. Select the appropriate state from the State drop-down menu.

      Only states that you have checked in the Carrier/MGA States checklist on the Carrier/MGA Info tab appear in the States drop-down menu.

   3. Enter the Company Number in the Company Number field.

   4. Optional: Repeat steps a-c to add additional Company Numbers.

To copy a Program to a Writing Carrier (custom carriers only)

For agencies who migrated to HawkSoft 6 prior to November 2025, Programs on custom carriers in HawkSoft 5 were not inserted as Writing Carriers.

HawkSoft includes a feature to copy a custom carrier's Programs to Writing Carriers, to avoid the need to manually add them if they already exist as Programs.

1. In the Programs section, click Copy to Writing Carrier.

   The Copy Programs dialog launches.

2. Use the checkboxes to select which of the carrier's Programs to copy to Writing Carriers.

   You can copy all programs with Select All.

3. Click Copy.

   A confirmation message is displayed, and the selected Programs are added to Writing Carriers.

   If some or all selected Programs are already in the Writing Carriers list, HawkSoft returns an error message and only new items are copied.

4. Optional: Edit the new Writing Carrier(s) to add their NAIC codes and Company Numbers.

   Writing Carriers added via copy from Programs do not have an NAIC code pre-filled.

   See "To edit or delete an existing Writing Carrier/NAIC code" below for more information.

5. Click Save to save changes and close the
   Editing Carrier window.
