The license term is the last day of the licensee’s birth month every 2 years. Licensees who were born in an even-numbered year will be required to complete their CE in even-numbered years. Licensees who were born in an odd-numbered year will be required to complete their CE in odd-numbered years.

Agents must have their CE credit hours posted prior to their expiration date and prior to applying to renew their insurance license(s). Providers have 30 days to report your CE completions, so please plan accordingly to avoid a lapse in licensure.

Producers may carry over a maximum of 12 excess credit hours to the next license term. However, this carryover allowance does not apply to ethics CE credit requirements. Excess ethics hours will be counted as general credit. Any course hours carried over to the next renewal will be counted as duplicate if the same course is taken again.

You cannot repeat the same course within 2 years from the original course completion date.

Note: Producers in your first CE Compliance Period: Please check your SBS transcript before ordering. If your first CE Compliance Period is for longer than 2 calendar years (For example: 3/30/2011-1/31/2014), you will not receive credit for a course repeated within this Compliance Period, even though the course may have been completed more than 2 calendar years from the previous completion date.
