Instructions

Attachments Warehouse accepts attachments from both individual and business entity/agency producers.

State Interface

There are two entry points for regulators into the Attachments Warehouse:

#1 – State Interface will have the link (“Electronic Attachment”) (if the producer has entered data for a notification and added an attachment) that will take you directly to the producer’s information screen.

Gateway

Access

#2 – States not using the State Interface can click on the link in the NIPR Gateway labeled: “Attachments Warehouse.”  Access is based upon the sign-in to the Gateway being a State regulator sign-in and not an industry sign-in.

Enter the identification of the producer into the appropriate fields.  If more than one producer is identified by the data, a “hit list” of the various producers will display under the search screen with a “Submit” at the end of each option.  After clicking “Submit” button the data for that producer will display.

If the identification of the producer is only for one producer, the data for that producer will display.
