Submit a Claim
Despite careful title review and underwriting, claims may arise on NATIC policies issued through NATIC independent agents or affiliated agencies. The following procedures apply as soon as a title agent becomes aware of a potential or actual claim on a NATIC policy.
1. Notify NATIC immediately
Whenever knowledge of a claim or potential claim comes to the attention of a NATIC agent or affiliate, the first step must be to notify NATIC. The insured should immediately email their claim using the
Claim Form to
NATIC Claims Department at
claims@natic.com, as well as follow the instructions for submitting a claim as set forth in their policy jacket.
Written claims may be submitted to:
North American Title Insurance Company
1855 Gateway Blvd, Suite 600
Concord, CA 94520
Attention: Claims
or
claims@natic.com
Telephone inquiries may be directed to NATIC Claims Department: 925.935.5599
NOTE: Contacting NATIC does not relieve the insured of the written notice requirements as set forth in NATIC policies (see below).
