(a) No person shall be employed as a title marketing representative in this state unless the person holds a valid “certificate of registration” as a title marketing representative issued by the commissioner pursuant to Section 12418.1. (b) For purposes of this article, “title marketing representative” means a natural person employed by a title insurer, underwritten title company, or controlled escrow company whose primary duty is to market, offer, solicit, negotiate, or sell title insurance, as defined in Section 12340.1.

(c) If any person knowingly markets title insurance without having applied for or obtained a certificate of registration pursuant to Section 12418.1, the commissioner may issue a cease and desist order pursuant to Section 12921.8.
