An insurer incorporated in this state is known as what?

In this context, where an insurer is chartered in the same state where it operates, it’s described as a domestic insurer. The term domestic reflects being formed under the laws of the state in question, with its corporate charter and primary regulatory ties rooted there. If the company were chartered in a different state, it would be called a foreign insurer; if it were chartered in another country altogether, it would be an alien insurer. Reinsurer describes a company’s function—providing reinsurance—not its state of incorporation, so it isn’t defined by being domestic, foreign, or alien.
