Apply For Your License
Apply for Resident or Non-Resident Individual Insurance License
Use specific instructions outlined by license type using the menu on the left. Read the instruction carefully and collect all of the required information before starting the process to apply. Many license types will require the applicant to submit an electronic application using NIPR. 
NIPR (National Insurance Producer Registry) is an electronic gateway developed to link state insurance departments with the insurance companies, which they regulate. The goal is to simplify communications and to distribute information electronically, including licensing applications, appointments and terminations. The NIPR Gateway was designed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the state licensing process among all parties through automation, standardization and reciprocity.
Fees
All fees are listed on the NIPR website. Review the fee schedules here.
Renew Your License
You may only renew your license during the renewal period. The license term is April 1 to March 31 of odd years. The department will send out renewal notices for existing licensees at the beginning of the odd year. Note: license fees are not prorated, and the license term is fixed, regardless of time of application.
Resident and Non-Resident Adjuster/Individual type licenses expire on March 31 and include Producer, Limited Lines Producer, Title Producer, Business Entity, Limited Lines Business Entity, Managing General Agent, and Bail Bond Agent.
Online Renewals
Use the following criteria to locate license renewal details through NIPR:

Here you can print a copy of your license information for your records at no cost. The department does not require a licensee to possess a paper copy of their license.
