Transferring Your NAIC Insurance Producer License to Another State

Transferring your NAIC insurance producer license to another state, including Puerto Rico, is relatively straightforward, but the specifics will vary depending on the state you're moving to and your existing residency status. Here's a general overview of the process:

Step 1: Check Eligibility Requirements

• Residency: You must be a resident of the state you're applying for a license in. Each state defines residency differently, so check their specific requirements.
• License Status: Your current NAIC license must be active and in good standing.
• Line(s) of Authority: You must meet the line(s) of authority requirements for the new state. These may differ from your current state.

Step 2: Gather Required Documents

• Completed application: Each state has its own application form, which can usually be found online or downloaded from their insurance department website.
• Attached are the instructions from The Puerto Rico Insurance Commisssioner Office
• License verification: Proof of your current NAIC license and your resident state (usually done through NIPR).
• Fingerprints: Some states require fingerprint-based background checks.
• Continuing education (CE) credits: Most states require proof of meeting CE requirements.
• You need a clearance letter from your state.
• Fees: Each state has different fees associated with transferring licenses.

Step 3: Submit Your Application

• Submit your completed application package along with the required fees to the insurance department of your new state.
• You may need to mail the application or submit it electronically through their licensing portal.

Step 4: Processing and Approval

Step 5: Obtaining a Clearance Letter
