Each person selling preneed merchandise and services and/or cemetery merchandise and services must be registered. A holder of a certificate of authority (certificate holder) must have at least one registered preneed sales agent. The certificate holder and preneed sales agent applicant must complete their respective part of Form No. AL-PNS-1 (5/2002).  Click HERE to download the form. The completed form along with the $25.00 registration fee is to be mailed to:

A certificate holder who has registered a preneed sales agent must notify the Department in writing within 30 days after the individual’s status as preneed sales agent has been terminated. The notice can be faxed to: (334) 240-3282, e-mailed to ProducerLicensing@insurance.alabama.gov or mailed to the above address. Include the certificate holder’s company number, the name of the PSA being terminated, and his/her license number in the notification.

Certificate holders will receive the annual renewal invoices for their preneed sales agent(s) by mail. The invoice lists all active preneed sales agents registered under the certificate holder. The renewal fee for each agent is $25.00.

Please note that effective January 1, 2009 the fee for a preneed certificate of authority does not include a “free” PSA registration. 

If terminated agents appear on the invoice, the certificate holder must list any terminated agent(s) on a separate sheet of paper and subtract $25.00 for each terminated agent from the invoice. By April 1, mail a copy of the invoice, the terminated agent list, and a check payable to the Alabama Department of Insurance for the amount due for active preneed sales agents.

If an active agent does not appear on the invoice, contact agent licensing at (334) 241-4198. Do not write in names on the renewal invoice.
