All writing agents must hold an active Health & Life Insurance License in the state they are writing along with any state certification courses. Most states require an initial eight-hour course with four-hour renewal courses every two years thereafter. Some states have additional state-specific continuing education requirements. Certain products also require additional training and certifications.
You need to be appointed by the carrier(s) you will be writing. In many cases, the appointment contract paperwork can be submitted with the first piece of business, but some require the carrier appointment prior to submitting business. It is best to contact our office prior to writing an application so we can verify your contracting requirements.
