Change of Address Policy and Procedure
According to Section 27-7-17(B), Code of Alabama 1975:
"Licensees shall inform the commissioner by any means acceptable to the commissioner
of a change in legal name or address within 30 days of the change. Failure to timely
inform the commissioner of a change in legal name or address shall result in a penalty
of fifty dollars ($50)."
This applies to producers, business entity producers and service representatives
according to Section 27-7-17(a).
According to Section 27-9A-7(h), Code of Alabama 1975:
"The independent adjuster shall inform the commissioner of a change in legal name
or address within 30 days of the change in a manner prescribed by the commissioner.
Failure to timely inform the commissioner of a change in legal name or address shall
result in a penalty of fifty dollars ($50). If the penalty is not paid within 30
days after notice of the penalty assessment, the license shall be suspended until
the penalty is paid."
"Address Change Request (ACR) provides a convenient method for producers,
service representatives, and adjusters to accurately communicate a vital piece of information to
regulators. It also, at no cost and in one place, allows producers to view all their
current address records for every state, making it easier for them to monitor and
maintain their records."
NOTE: You cannot change your address during the renewal process.
THIS PROCESS IS MANDATORY FOR ALL PRODUCERS AND SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES.
Currently all jurisdictions participate in ACR. Producers and authorized users can
view the complete list of participating states and submit individual producer address
changes through the NIPR web
site.
However, adjusters who do not have an active resident license and business entity producers must submit the paper Address Change Form.
**At this time NIPR is unable to process changes to email addresses only thru ACR
without having to change other addresses. Therefore, print off Address Change Form
above and mail to department.
