Continuing Education - Consequences of Failure to Comply

  • 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 (181st 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.
