Verification log
Verified - full register · Insurance Control Commission (ICC), register of supervised companies at insurancecommission.gov.lb/companies, filtered to Type = 'Insurance Company', retrieved 23 Sep 2026: 45 licensed insurance companies (the same register holds 460 brokerage firms). Each entry carries the ICC licence number, the licensed branches (Fire, Life, General Accidents, Transportation, Credit), the general manager, address and website.
Reconciled against the Insurance Control Commission's own register of supervised companies (45 licensed insurance companies, retrieved 23 Sep 2026): 18 rows matched, 27 companies added, 2 rows removed as not being licensees on that register. Class codes now follow the ICC's licensed branches, which corrects Cumberland to general and MetLife Lebanon to composite. The ICC register gives licence numbers and branches but no licence dates.
