Bulletin: NY000329
In an effort to improve our bulletin and alert notification process, Stewart Title Insurance Company (STIC) will officially move all legal notices to email format this fall. We are currently utilizing fax distribution and do not feel that the bulletins and alerts are reaching our agents in a timely manner. We ask that each agency provide two email addresses for bulletins and alerts. Instructions and helpful suggestions for registering are at the end of this bulletin.
A history of the alerts and bulletins released by STIC is available on the following websites:
- The STIC Agent Resource Center: www.stewartnewyork.com.
- Virtual Underwriter: http://www.vuwriter.com.
A searchable database for Alerts is available on Stewart’s patriot search website.
- Stewart Special Alerts: https://specialalerts.stewart.com.
All Alerts and Bulletins on these Websites and as emailed must be read so that proper Underwriting decisions can be made. It is the obligation of each Agent to read and disseminate the information in the Alerts and bulletins to all appropriate personnel.
If you have any questions or concerns about this matter, please call (212) 922-0050. Thank you all for your cooperation and continued support!
How to register
- Please go to www.stewartnewyork.com
- Click on Agent Log-In on the left navigation bar
- Enter the company’s Agent ID Number in the password field.
If you do not know the Agent ID Number, please call 212-922-0050.
- Click on Registration
Suggestions
We suggest that you create an email address or distribution group to receive them. (For example bulletins@myagency.com OR legal@myagency.com). This will ensure that if an employee leaves or is on vacation, your company will still receive all notices from Stewart. This will also fulfill the email requirement for STIC.
As a preventative method, please add us to your Address Book or Safe Senders List so your company’s junk-mail blocker does not delay delivery of bulletins & alerts.
