- Find the insurer named on your policy schedule in the list below or on NAMFISA's register of registered institutions and intermediaries.
- Check the agent or broker on the same register: since 1 May 2026, anyone paid to sell or arrange insurance must be registered (FIMA, section 54).
- In doubt, call NAMFISA toll-free on 0800 290 500 before you pay (NAMFISA public notice). Companies that lost their registration are on the deregistered list.
Step by step: check an insurer, agent or broker.
Short-term, long-term, medical aid: what the lists mean
- Short-term insurers sell car, home, business, travel and liability cover. The list includes NASRIA, the insurer of riot, strike and political violence risks (NASRIA).
- Long-term insurers sell life, disability, funeral, fund, sinking fund and health policies (FIMA, section 4, "long-term policy").
- Medical aid funds pay members' healthcare costs. They are registered under section 323 of FIMA.
NAMFISA's Annual Report 2025 counted 14 long-term and 14 short-term insurers and 8 active medical aid funds at 31 December 2024 (table 1). The register of October 2026 shows 15 long-term insurers (Namibia Burial Assurance Limited carries a 2025 licence number) and 7 medical aid funds.
