Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Information About Segments of Business Segment Information
The Company is engaged in the business of insurance underwriting and related services. It conducts its business through a number of operating companies, which utilize one or more insurance company subsidiaries to issue their policies, and is organized into two segments: Specialty Insurance and Title Insurance. The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different types of insurance that are managed separately because the nature of each varies from a customer, distribution, and economic perspective. The results of a small life and accident insurance business, the parent holding company, and several internal corporate services subsidiaries are included within Corporate & Other.

The Company does not derive over 10% of its consolidated revenues from any one customer. Revenues and assets connected with foreign operations are not significant in relation to consolidated totals.

Specialty Insurance provides property and liability insurance primarily to commercial clients. Commercial auto is the largest type of coverage underwritten by Specialty Insurance, accounting for 42.6% and 42.5% of the segment's net premiums earned in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, respectively. The remaining premiums written by Specialty Insurance are derived largely from a wide variety of coverages, including workers' compensation, property, general liability, general aviation, directors' and officers' indemnity, fidelity and surety indemnities, home and auto warranties, and accident & health. On July 1, 2026, Old Republic closed on its previously announced acquisition of Everett Cash Mutual Insurance Co. and affiliated companies (ECM) following its conversion to a stock company in a sponsored demutualization transaction. ECM will be included in the Specialty Insurance segment.

Title Insurance consists primarily of the issuance of policies to real estate purchasers and investors based upon searches of the public records which contain information concerning interests in real property. The policies insure
against losses arising out of defects, liens, and encumbrances affecting the insured title and not excluded or excepted from the coverage of the policy.

The accounting policies of the Specialty Insurance and Title Insurance segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Old Republic's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Income taxes are calculated on the basis of the taxable income of the individual entities within each segment.

Although GAAP uses net income as the measure of total profitability, management uses net income excluding net investment gains (losses) (net operating income), a non-GAAP financial measure, in its evaluation of periodic and long-term results. In management's opinion, excluding investment gains (losses) from income provides a better way to analyze, evaluate, and establish accountability for the results of the insurance operations. The inclusion of realized investment gains (losses) in net income can mask trends in operating results because such realizations are often highly discretionary. Similarly, the inclusion of unrealized investment gains (losses) in equity securities can further distort such operating results with significant period-to-period fluctuations that are unrelated to the insurance operations. Net operating income, however, does not replace GAAP net income as a measure of total profitability. Furthermore, as described in more detail below, management considers the underwriting income component of segment operating income (alternatively measured via combined ratio results) to be the primary performance measure of the insurance operations within each segment.

The Company's chief operating decision maker (CODM) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance for the Specialty Insurance and Title Insurance segments based primarily on underwriting results, as measured by each segment's combined ratio. The combined ratio measures the Company's overall profitability from its underwriting activities and is derived by dividing loss and loss adjustment expenses, dividends to policyholders, and underwriting, acquisition, and other expenses by total premiums and fees earned in the tables that follow.

The combined ratio is utilized to perform benchmarking analysis with respect to the Company’s internally set objectives as well as its peer group and competitors. The CODM considers these analyses to determine whether to deploy more capital to fund growth within the segments, or conversely, deploy less capital to focus on underwriting profitability improvements. Furthermore, the combined ratio is a significant component in the establishment of management’s incentive compensation.

The contributions of Old Republic's reportable segments to consolidated totals are shown in the following tables.
