Licensed insurance companies in Afghanistan (2026)
PartialPartially verified against the Afghanistan Insurance Authority (Ministry of Finance) register, checked 4 Sept 2026.
The 10 insurance companies licensed in Afghanistan in 2026, as recorded by the Afghanistan Insurance Authority (Ministry of Finance), with the class of business and ownership each one is registered under.
Snapshot
By class of business
Each company is counted once, under the class its register row records. The supervisor’s own tally counts licences, so a company licensed for more than one class appears more than once there.
By ownership
“Cross-border groups” counts foreign multinationals and pan-regional groups; “domestically owned” counts domestic private, state-owned, mutual and captive entities. The register records the parent’s type, not its home market. How ownership is recorded

- Register source
- Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Ministry of Finance - General Directorate of Takaful and Insurance (GDTI), 'Insurance Activates' page, section 'Insurance Operators': 10 numbered insurance companies, each with a profile, product list and contact details. GDTI is described on the ministry's own site as 'the only government institution assigned to regulate, supervise and develop the insurance sector in Afghanistan', with licence issuance among its duties. The Dari edition of the same page (فعالین بیمه) lists the identical 10 companies in the same order, which is how the list was cross-checked.

Verification log
Reconciled against the Ministry of Finance / General Directorate of Takaful and Insurance list of insurance operators (English and Dari editions of the same page, retrieved 23 Sep 2026): 10 operators. All three existing rows are confirmed; seven operators were missing and are added - Sky International Insurance, Sadra Insurance, Capital Star Insurance and Khairkhwa International Insurance (domestic general insurers) and the Kabul branches of the Iranian insurers Razi, Alborz and Kowsar, which the page shows offering travel and transit cover only. The page carries no date, no licence numbers for most operators and no takaful window detail, so the market stays partially verified.
