Appointments and Cancellations

Any producer acting on behalf of an insurer must be appointed by the insurer. Any insurer accepting business directly from a person not licensed for that line of authority and not appointed by the insurer is liable to a fine of up to three times the premium received from the person.
Each insurer appointing a producer in this state shall file a notice of the appointment with the DOI within 15 days of the date the agency contract is executed or the first insurance application is submitted, whichever occurs first. The Insurer must submit a Notice of Producer Appointment through the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR). Click here. Paper forms are no longer accepted.
The initial appointment fee is $30.00.  NIPR may charge additional transaction fees.  ALL fees are non-refundable.
Please note the entire license and appointment fee will be paid during the appointment process.
Companies who do not want to do the programming themselves can utilize one of the NIPR Authorized Business Partners to handle the programming. Contact any Authorized Business Partner directly to determine their pricing.
Insurers may terminate a producer's appointment at any time, subject to the producer's rights, if any. All Appointment Cancellations are now handled through the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR).  Click here.
If the submitted termination reason is “Request Regulatory Review” or “Company Indebtedness“, you must file within ten days a statement of the facts relative to the termination and the cause thereof, together with any documentation.
All fees are non-refundable.
If you cancel an appointment by mistake, you will be required to pay a $30.00 appointment fee to have the licensee reappointed.
Appointments and Cancellations will be reflected on this website in 2 to 3 business days.
Appointment renewal occurs effective January 1 each year. All insurance producers, service representatives, and title insurance agents appointed with an insurer on December 31 each year will be renewed for the next year. Insurers may view/print their appointment renewal invoice through the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) on or after January 12th of each year.
The renewal appointment fee for each producer/agent is as follows:
  • Insurance Producers - $10.00
  • Service Representatives - $30.00
  • Title Insurance Agents - $50.00
Insurers may review their current list of appointed producers/agents at anytime using the CARR Report offered by NIPR. Click here.
