1. Review the State Requirements

In order to renew your insurance license, you must complete the required continuing education hours for the lines of insurance that you are licensed in. All of the hours must be completed and reported prior to your license renewal date to avoid a lapse in your license.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:

Total Hours

24 hours biennially for Producers and Adjusters

Compliance Renewal Date

Renewal date is the last day of the licensee's birth month, biennially.

You may also need to take specific courses or earn specific credit types to renew your license. These course completions will count toward the total hour requirement.

LINE-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS:.

For Life & Health Producers:

Ethics
3 hrs - For resident producer licenses with Life, Health, Variable Life & Annuity, or Life, Accident & Health lines of authority, 3 hours of Ethics must be completed each renewal.  There is not an Ethics requirement for Property & Casualty producers.

Annuity Suitability
4 hrs - Producers must complete a one-time 4-hour Annuity Suitability Certification Training prior to selling, soliciting, or negotiating annuity products.

Long-Term Care
8/5 hrs - Producers must complete an initial 8-hour Long-Term Care (LTC) Certification Training prior to selling, soliciting, or negotiating Long-Term Care products/policies. After completing the initial requirement, producers must complete a 5-hour ongoing LTC, due on the completion date of the 8-hour training, every 24 months thereafter.  Non-compliance with the 5 hour renewal requirement will require completion of the 8 hour basic LTC course again.

Long-Term Care Partnership
7 hrs - Partnership producers (resident and non-resident) must complete a 7-hour partnership classroom course prior to representing long-term care partnership insurance.

For Property & Casualty Producers:

Flood

There are also additional rules about how the course hours can be applied.

CARRYOVER HOURS:

Carryover hours are not allowed.

COURSE REPETITION:

Courses may not be taken more than once in a reporting period.

If you meet any of criteria below, you may be exempt from the continuing education requirements.

EXEMPTIONS:

  • Producers who are at least 70 years old and who have been continuously licensed for at least 20 years
  • Individuals who no longer actively solicit insurance but who maintain a license in order to collect commissions on business written while still active producers
  • Individuals completing the initial LTC Partnership course are exempt from the 5 hr LTC CE requirement for the reporting period in which the course was completed
  • Individuals licensed for travel, accident and baggage
  • Non-residents:
    • Exempt if producer meets resident state CE requirement and submits PDB printout indicating resident state compliance
    • Exempt from LTC requirement, but not from the LTC Partnership requirement

2. Register for and Complete Courses

Once you have determined the renewal requirements for your license, you can register for courses. Each course has an associated credit type; when registering for courses, select courses with credit types that will help to fulfill the renewal requirements for your license.

You must fulfill the course requirements for each of the courses to have them reported.

  • Online and Self Study courses are self-paced. You must review the course material and pass the Certification Exam at the end to receive credit.*
