What Kidnap and Ransom Insurance Requirements Apply in New Hampshire?

The NAIC chart cites N.H. Rev. Stat. §§ 405:29, 405:29-a for single-state surplus-lines tax treatment in New Hampshire. Ask your broker to show that charge separately from insurer premium and match insured people, territory, and covered events to your travel plan.

What Is Kidnap and Ransom Insurance?

Kidnap and ransom insurance provides financial protection for specified kidnapping and extortion events and gives the business access to a crisis-response firm. Check who is insured, which events are named, and how territory and sanctions terms apply to your actual travel. Read the national Kidnap and ransom guide.

What to Watch for With Kidnap and Ransom in New Hampshire

State Charges on a Nonadmitted Placement
For a single-state surplus-lines placement in New Hampshire, the NAIC chart cites N.H. Rev. Stat. §§ 405:29, 405:29-a as the tax authority. Ask the broker to show the state charge, taxable premium base, and allocation separately on the K&R binder. ¹
Guaranty-Fund Eligibility
Do not count on the New Hampshire guaranty mechanism until the insurer and policy qualify under its statute. Ask the broker to confirm whether the quoted K&R placement is protected if the insurer fails. The chart cites N.H. Rev. Stat. §§ 405:29, 405:29-a for surplus-lines tax, but paying that charge does not establish guaranty eligibility; ask for the insurer's insolvency disclosure too. ^2,¹
Sanctions and Cyber Extortion
Confirm whether cyber extortion sits inside this K&R form or a separate cyber policy. Treasury guidance calls for sanctions diligence where a ransomware payment may have a sanctions nexus. For multi-state risks, the chart cites N.H. Rev. Stat. §§ 405:29, 405:29-a for the state tax rule; ask how K&R and any cyber extension are allocated before comparing quotes. ^3,¹

Which Kidnap and Ransom Providers Have New Hampshire License Records?

Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office in New Hampshire

Reported tax rate. 3% on the New Hampshire allocation; other-state allocations use those states’ rates and fees ^8,^9,¹⁰

New Hampshire charges 3% on gross premium allocated to New Hampshire; for multistate coverage, premium allocated elsewhere is taxed at the rates and fees applicable in those jurisdictions, less qualifying returned premium. The policy notice states that the New Hampshire Guaranty Association will not be liable for surplus-lines policies; placement ordinarily requires proof that admitted coverage cannot be obtained.

Kidnap and Ransom Insurance in New Hampshire: FAQ

What state tax applies to surplus-lines K&R insurance in New Hampshire?

3% of premium. The NAIC chart's New Hampshire row cites N.H. Rev. Stat. §§ 405:29, 405:29-a; ask the broker to show the amount separately on the quote. ¹

What happens if a surplus-lines K&R insurer fails in New Hampshire?
