For the voluntary association license, what must be submitted to the Commissioner?

• A. All names and addresses
• B. Tax returns
• C. Insurance certificates
• D. Financial statements

Answer: (A)

Voluntary association licensing centers on who has authority within the organization. When a voluntary association applies for this license, the Commissioner needs a complete roster of every person who can act for the association—officers, directors, and any other individuals with control or responsibility. Submitting all names and addresses provides the regulatory oversight necessary to contact the right people and verify who is in charge, ensuring proper supervision of the association’s activities. Tax returns, insurance certificates, and financial statements don’t identify those in control and aren’t the information the license requires to establish and maintain authorization. Keeping a current list of names and addresses allows prompt communication and accountability if concerns arise.
