  2. Renewal Licenses for adjusters, motor club agents, and legal agents, as well as credit only agents.
  3. Supplemental and Corrected Renewal Rosters - to insurers.

NOTICE TO INSURERS: If you are awaiting a "corrected" or "supplemental" roster from the Department of Insurance, we will NOT cancel any of your non-renewed agents until at least 30 days after the rosters have been mailed.

NOTE: The Alabama Department of Insurance has installed new software that required us to issue a "new" license number to all individuals, corporations and partnerships. This license number will begin with "A" followed by 6 numerals. Example - A009999. We will still be able to identify licensees by the "old" license number, but due to this change, all future written documents generated by the Department will reflect the "new" alpha-numeric license number. Individuals who hold more than one type insurance license - a person who is licensed as an agent and a broker - will have the same "new" number for all license types.

NEW TELEPHONE HOURS FOR FRIDAYS ONLY: For the foreseeable future, the Agents Licensing Division will not accept incoming telephone calls between noon and 5:00 P.M. on Fridays. Please schedule your calls to this division between 8:00 A.M. Monday and noon Friday. Thank you for your cooperation!
