§ 27-1-17-3 — Name

No foreign or alien insurance company shall be
admitted to do business in this state having a name which, at the date
of such admission, could not be taken by a domestic corporation under
the provisions of IC 27-1-6-3, except that the name of a foreign or alien
insurance company need not include the word "company",
"corporation", "incorporated", or "mutual", or one (1) of the
abbreviations thereof, nor the word "insurance" or the word "assurance"
provided the name of such company is authorized by the laws of the
state or territory of its organization or domicile and provided such
name does not negate the characteristic of such company as an
insurance company. No such foreign or alien insurance company after
it has been admitted shall, by amendment to its charter, assume any
name which, at the date of the filing of such amendment as provided in
this chapter, could not be taken by a domestic corporation under the
provisions of IC 27-1-6-3.
