Filing a Complaint is very easy and straight forward. It can be done on line or if a computer is not available to you, the Utah Insurance Department can send you a complaint form by mail to be filled out and mailed back. If you decide to file a complaint on line, (web address above) the first thing that is required is to create an account.

Creating an Account: Make note of your password when you create an account because this password will be required in the future when you check on the status of your complaint. Once an account is created, then you can access the complaint form and fill it out on line and file it.

Once the complaint is filed:

  • The Utah Insurance Commission will review the response and provide you with their findings.

The complaint process usually takes three to four weeks.
