Dutch term or phrase: volmachtpolis

Ik ben een verzekeringsdocument aan het vertalen, een Dienstenwijzer. Hierin wordt gesproken over het feit dat het bedrijf in kwestie onder volmacht polissen afsluit. Ik zit nu met de volgende zin: U kunt uw verzekeraar verzoeken de lopende verzekeringen over te dragen aan de adviseur van uw keuze met uitzondering van volmachtpolissen. Hoe kan ik "volmachtpolis" nu het beste vertalen?

'authorised agent policy'

Explanation:
The concept of volmachtpolissen is regulated by the Wet op het financieel toezicht, art. 4:79. The English translation provided on the website of the AFM translated gevolmachtigde as 'authorised agent', so it may be convenient to adopt this term.

-> "Artikel 4:79
1. De aan een gevolmachtigde agent of ondergevolmachtigde agent te verlenen volmacht of ondervolmacht wordt schriftelijk verleend en wordt opgemaakt overeenkomstig een bij ministeriële regeling vast te stellen model."

-> "Section 4:79
1. The authority or sub-authority to be granted to an authorized agent or sub-authorized agent shall be drawn up in writing according to a model to be laid down by ministerial regulation."

Thank you for your answer, I will go for 'authorised agent policy', because I feel 'underwriting agent' is too specific in this case.
