1. What happens if I do not earn my continuing education (CE) credit hour requirements?

Failure to meet the biennial continuing education requirement will result in the expiration of the license on the day following the licensee’s compliance deadline. Producers have 6 months (180 days) to reinstate a license by completing all requirements, which includes completing the required credit hours and paying a $50 late CE compliance fee through NIPR. When this process is completed, the license and appointments will be reinstated.

If your license expires, you cannot conduct any business of insurance. 

If the CE hours are not completed within 6 months (180 days) of the expiration date, the license and all appointments will be cancelled the following day (181^st day). To regain licensure, the producer will be required to retake and pass the state licensing exam, obtain new fingerprints, complete a new application, and pay a new license fee to become licensed.

2. What happens if I do not renew my producer license?

Failure to renew the license will result in the expiration of the license on the day following the licensee’s compliance deadline. Producers have 6 months (180 days) to reinstate a license by paying the renewal fee and a penalty fee through NIPR. The amount of the penalty fee is based on the date the license is renewed plus the $25 renewal fee (see below). 

        1-30 days late, the renewal penalty is $50

        31-60 days late, the renewal penalty is $100

        61-180 days late, the renewal penalty is $250

If your license expires, you cannot conduct any business of insurance. 

If the renewal is not completed within 6 months (180 days) of the expiration date, the license and all appointments will be canceled the following day (181^st day). To regain licensure, the producer will be required to retake and pass the state licensing exam, obtain new fingerprints, complete a new application, and pay a new license fee to become licensed.
