A foreign insurance company doing business in Louisiana

Explanation:
In insurance terminology, the terms domestic, foreign, and alien describe where an insurer is formed. A domestic insurer is created under the laws of the state where it does business. A foreign insurer, by contrast, is formed under the laws of another state (or jurisdiction) but is authorized to transact business in Louisiana. An alien insurer would be formed under a country’s laws. So, a foreign insurance company doing business in Louisiana is one that was formed under the laws of another state, not Louisiana. The other statements describe a Louisiana-based (domestic) company or do not address the jurisdiction of formation, or describe ownership type rather than where it’s formed.
