Alabama Department of Insurance

Insurance companies must register the names of their company officials authorized to appoint temporary producers. Click here for the form, which is to be submitted either via Email or fax. Each insurance company desiring to use temporary producers must register at least two but no more than three “authorized company officials” who will be permitted to apply online for all temporary producer applications. Insurance companies doing business through district offices must forward all potential temporary applicants to their “authorized company official.”

Insurance companies must also provide a disclosure form to all individuals they are sponsoring as temporary producers. This form can be accessed by clicking here. Companies are to maintain these forms and provide to the Commissioner upon request.

Licensing fees for temporary producers are paid by the insurance company. Visa, MasterCard, and American Express payments will be accepted. An NIPR transaction fee (approximately $6) is charged for each transaction in addition to the state fee of $120 per insurer. NIPR FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

After an insurer has registered its authorized company officials, the insurer will collect the necessary information from a qualified individual who desires to be licensed as a temporary producer. Insurers may find it helpful to have the individual complete the NAIC’s Uniform Application and to have it in hand when completing the online application, since the Uniform Application requests the same information that will be requested in the Online Application. Click here for a PDF copy of the Uniform Application. Using this information, an authorized company official must complete the online application at www.nipr.com. At this point in the process, only the NIPR transaction fee (approximately $6) will be charged.

After an online application for Temporary Producer is submitted, ALDOI staff will review the application and may contact the applicant for additional information.

If ALDOI staff approves an online application for Temporary Producer, notice is sent to the Contact Person on the application, and the insurer will then have 14 days to submit the company appointment and pay the state fees ($120 per insurer).

Upon issuance of the temporary producer license and the company appointment, the producer may act as a producer for the insurer under the supervision of the insurer. If the company appointment is terminated the license will be canceled.

A Temporary Producer license is valid for a maximum of six months, during which time the individual must complete examination requirements. After the individual has passed the examination, he or she should follow the instructions to submit Fingerprints. A Temporary Producer license will automatically convert to a regular Producer license if the licensee has passed the appropriate exam and submitted fingerprinting on or before the expiration date of the license.

Please contact NIPR Support at support@nipr.com with any questions or for additional information.
