Upon the petition of the incorporators of such company, the commissioner shall cause an examination to be made in respect to the capital stock and shall see that the requirements as to the same have been fully complied with; and if the company is organized to do business on the mutual or cooperative assessment plan, the commissioner shall similarly determine that the company is in the actual possession of the applications for insurance required of it, and the amount of premiums, assessments, reserve, surplus, or other resources required of it, as the case may be, and that it was shown to him by the affidavit of the president and secretary of the company that any required applications have been taken in good faith and not merely colorably. The commissioner may perform such examination by deputy or by any examiner in his office, or by the appointment of a special examiner, who shall certify to the facts as found. Upon being satisfied that all requirements of this code precedent to commencing business have been fully complied with, applicable to such company, the commissioner shall deliver to such company a certificate of authority to commence business and issue policies.
