·         The Western Association of Automobile Insurance Plans (WAAIP) is pleased to announce the introduction of EASi the Electronic Application Submission Interface.  EASi is a simple, cost effective way for producers registered by the Plan to complete and submit private passenger automobile application data electronically to the Plan via the Internet.  The resulting electronic version of the completed application will be printed in the producer's office, signed, and mailed to the Plan together with the premium deposit payment and any other supporting documentation and/or forms required by the Plan.

Effective February 17, 2003, EASi is available to the Western Association producers from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, and from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. PT on Saturday at www.aipso.com/easi.

Please note that those producers licensed to transact automobile insurance in the following Western Association states must first be registered by the WAAIP office in order to have access to EASi:

§         Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada , New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming

To register, Western Association producers must complete a Registration Application on the EASi website - www.aipso.com/easi.   From the Registration Link, producers will choose their state from the drop down menu and complete the requested information.  Producers should complete the Identification Section fields exactly as they would like the information to appear in Section 1. Producer of Record on the EASi application.  When using EASi, Section 1. will be pre-filled with the information producers complete online.

The completed registration form, accompanied by a copy of a valid producer’s license, must then be submitted to the WAAIP office by mail or fax 415-421-4013.  Once the application is approved by the Western Association, the producer will receive in the mail a unique registration identification code and password with which to access EASi.

Producers can view assigned company information online with EASi.  Any producer who uses EASi to submit private passenger applications can view prior submissions for up to 90 days from the day an application is submitted online.  When viewing a prior submission, if the application has been received and processed by the Plan, producers will be able to view the assigned company’s name.  To view this information, the producer would logon to EASi and choose “Prior Applications”.  A list of that producer’s EASi submissions for the last 30 days will appear and the producer can select a 90 days prior option as well.  A link to the application will also be available and the producer has an option of reprinting the application.  (02/27/03)
