After making the deposits provided for in this Article no company may issue a policy of insurance or endowment or an annuity bond known or designated as “registered” unless it has upon its face a certificate in the following words: “This policy or annuity bond is registered and secured by pledge of bonds, stocks, or securities deposited with this Department as provided by law,” which certificate shall be signed by the Commissioner and sealed with the seal of his office. Such policies and bonds shall be known as “registered” policies and annuity bonds, and a sample copy of such kind, class, and issue shall be kept in the office of the Commissioner. All policies and bonds of each kind and class issued, and the copies thereof, filed in the office of the Commissioner must have imprinted thereon some appropriate designating letter, combination of letters or terms identifying the special forms of contract, together with the year of adoption of such form, and whenever any change or modification is made in the form of contracts, policy, or bond, the designating letters or terms and year of adoption thereon shall be changed accordingly.
