Arizona Provider Number:  10016945

Complete 48 hours of Arizona-approved insurance continuing education during the license term, which must include at least six (6) hours of ethics training UNLESS you are exempt from the insurance continuing education requirement.

You are only exempt from Arizona's insurance continuing education requirement if ALL THE FOLLOWING APPLY and continue to apply:

1. You have been "continuously licensed" in Arizona as an insurance agent, broker, or producer since January 1, 1995; and,
2. You have not held a nonresident insurance producer license in another state at any time since January 1, 1995; and,
3. You have never been the subject of an order of the director of insurance for a violation of Arizona insurance laws (ARS Title 20) that resulted in your license being suspended, revoked, denied or not renewed; or, that required you to cease and desist from unlawful activity; or, that required you to pay restitution or a civil penalty.

If you sell National Flood Insurance Program ("NFIP") insurance policies, you must fulfill training requirements established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).  You can obtain Arizona insurance continuing education credit if you complete NFIP training courses that are Arizona-approved insurance continuing education courses.

ANNUITY SUITABILITY: Training Requirement – On June 5, 2020, the Arizona Governor signed HB1557, Annuity Transactions Requirements. The new requirements became effective January 1, 2021.    Before selling, soliciting, or negotiating an annuity, an insurance producer with a life insurance line of authority must complete a one-time four-credit-hour training course approved by the Arizona Department of Insurance and provided by an Arizona approved continuing education provider. Annuity training courses may be conducted and completed through classroom or self-study methods. Satisfactory completion of the training requirements of another state that are substantially similar to the amended provisions (§ 20-1243.07) will satisfy the training requirements in Arizona.

Flood: If you are selling National Flood Insurance Program ("NFIP") insurance policies, you must fulfill training requirements established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).  You can obtain Arizona insurance continuing education credit if you complete NFIP training courses that are Arizona-approved insurance CE courses.

DON'T DELAY! When you renew your license, you must provide, as part of your renewal application, evidence that you completed the insurance continuing education requirement.  You must expect a delay between the time you complete a course and the time evidence of your course completion is posted on a transcript or provided to you in the form of a Certificate of Completion. If the Department does not receive your complete license renewal application, including evidence of completing insurance continuing education, on or before the date your license expires, you will have to stop conducting insurance business and wait until the Department renews your license, and you will have to pay a $100 late renewal fee.

• Complete your courses.

For self-study courses, you must pass an open-book or closed-book exam (at the discretion of the provider) monitored by an Arizona licensed producer or a person appointed by the provider director who is a person in the business of administering education or examinations.

• After you complete your course,
  1. Make sure the continuing education provider gives you a course completion certificate (aka "certificate of compliance" per ARS § 20-2902(B)), which is your proof that you completed the course.  This will be available once you pay for the course.
  2. If you submit a license renewal application on paper, include originals of the course completion certificates. ARS § 20-2902(B).
  3. Keep copies of your course completion certificates until the second renewal period after the period for which the continuing education credits were earned. ARS § 20-2903(A).
• Make sure the course provider has reported your course completion to Vertafore by obtaining a continuing education transcript. Effective January 17, 2024, the Arizona Department of Insurance Continuing Education services have transitioned to NAIC's State Based Systems (SBS). We will be submitting CE to NAIC's SBS. You will renew your license on NAIC's NIPR. Your Continuing Education must be showing with NIPR BEFORE you can renew your license, so complete your CE early to allow at least 24 hours before the last day of your renewal.
