What is Dirección General de Seguros y Fondos de Pensiones (DGSFP)?

The Dirección General de Seguros y Fondos de Pensiones is the Spanish authority that authorises and supervises insurance companies and pension funds. It maintains the public register of authorised entities, so an insurer's registration number is the reference that lets you check the company's name, standing and other recorded details.

For a reader weighing an insurance purchase, the number offers a cheap first check. Inxur lists J-3114 and Rastreator lists J3257. Registration says the company is supervised; premiums, cover and claims handling still need comparing.
