Dear Associates:
Closing Protection Letters (Insured Closing Letters) may be issued ONLY by use of the Stewart ICL Website: https://www.stewarticl.com. Closing Protection Letters may not be (1) modified, (2) prepared by an Issuing Agent on its Letterhead or in any other format, or (3) typed, computer generated, or signed by an Issuing Agent.
The Stewart ICL Website has the most recent Closing Protection Letter forms approved by STG and maintains a record of the Closing Protection Letters issued. The Stewart ICL Website generates the Closing Protection Letter only for current authorized Issuing Agents (or Approved Attorneys, where allowed and customary). The CPL is generated in HTML format which is to be printed and then sent to the requesting lender. A CPL is not to be sent electronically in a Word format or other format which can be changed without our knowledge or consent.
If you are asked to modify the Closing Protection Letter, please contact the ICL Administrator at icladmin@stewart.com or 800-729-1902.
