To begin the renewal process, you will need to complete 3 steps listed below.

1. Review the State Requirements

The first step to renewing your insurance license is to review Nevada’s CE requirements. Depending on which lines of insurance you’re licensed in, the continuing education hours you’re required to complete will vary. All hours must be completed and reported prior to your license renewal date to avoid a lapse in your license.

General Requirements

How many total hours of CE do I need to complete?

Producers are required to complete 30 total hours every 3 years.

Adjusters are required to complete 24 total hours every 3 years.

What courses can I take to satisfy my total hour requirement?

27 (Producers)/ 21 (Adjusters) of your total hours must be approved for the line(s) of insurance you’re licensed to sell. The remaining 3 hours must be approved as Ethics.

Can I take any continuing education course?

NO. You can only take courses that are approved for the line(s) of insurance you are licensed to sell. Adjusters holding an adjuster property/casualty line of authority may complete Property & Casualty courses for credit.

When is the renewal date for my insurance license?

The renewal date occurs every 3 years on the last day of your license issuance month.

Do extra hours completed in a previous CE period carry over?

Carryover hours are not allowed.

Can I repeat Continuing Education courses for credit?

No, you may not repeat courses for credit in the same renewal period.

Am I exempt from Continuing Education?

The following individuals are exempt from completing CE requirements:
Nonresidents
Individuals holding a limited lines license only
Individuals who have 20 years of continuous experience, as a primary source of income, in a field of insurance selling, marketing, underwriting, adjusting, practicing law, managing, regulating, or engaging in any combination of these activities
Individuals holding the following designations: CLU, CPCU, CIC, ChFC, or CFP

If you believe you qualify for an exemption, contact the Nevada Department of Insurance at (775) 687-0700, or submit an email inquiry.

Life & Health Producer Product-specific Requirements

Prior to selling, soliciting or negotiating the following products, you’re required to complete initial certification training. These training hours can be applied towards the total hours needed to renew your license.

Annuity Best Interest Regulation Updates Pending

What are the requirements to sell long-term care products?

Producers licensed in Accident & Health or Sickness must complete 8 hours of initial Long-Term Care (LTC) Certification Training before selling, soliciting or negotiating Long-Term Care (LTC) products. After the initial training, producers must complete a 4-hour ongoing LTC training, due on the completion date of the 8-hour training, every 24 months thereafter.

Property & Casualty Producers Product-specific Requirements

What are the requirements to sell flood insurance?

Property/Casualty producers must complete a one-time 3-hour NFIP Flood Insurance Certification Training course prior to selling flood insurance policies.

2. Register for and Complete Courses

Once you have determined the renewal requirements for your license, you are ready to choose and register for insurance continuing education courses. You may complete your hours through webinars, online courses, or any combination of the two. These options allow you to decide how to best fit your continuing education into your existing schedule.

Each course is listed with an associated credit type. You must select courses that have the appropriate credit types for fulfilling the renewal requirements for your license.

Webinars: Completion is based on attendance and participation. You must be present for the full duration of the course, and you must be active throughout to receive credit. There is no certification exam required.

Online courses: Completion is self-paced. You must review the course material and pass the Certification Exam at the end to receive credit. Certification exams must be monitored by a disinterested third party (a person with no familial or financial relationship).

A.D. Banker will report your completed hours to the Nevada Department of Insurance within 1 business day.

3. File a Renewal Application

Once you have completed your courses and satisfied the renewal requirements for your license, you will need to file a renewal application. The online application will guide you through the renewal process. Upon successful renewal, your licensing record will be updated on the Nevada Department of Insurance's website, and your renewed license can be immediately obtained using the state’s Print or Download Your License service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my license number?

To find your license number, print your license, or view your CE transcript, and other additional details relating to your license, you may do so through Sircon.

What do I need to have with me when I’m renewing my license?

When you are ready to renew your license online, you should gather the following items to ensure the smoothest process possible:

The renewal email reminder you received, which will contain:
- Your license number; and
- The 6-digit renewal ID number
A credit card or debit card
Your email address

If you did not receive a renewal notice, you can still complete your online renewal using the last 4 digits of your social security number, your license number, and your date of birth.

How will I know when my license is renewed?

Once you have successfully completed the renewal process, your renewed license can be immediately obtained using Sircon. Your licensing record will be updated on the Nevada Department of Insurance's website.

What if my license renewal is late?

If your license renewal is late, a 50% penalty fee is required to late renew your license. In Nevada, you have one calendar year from the expiration date of your license to renew an expired license. During this time, you will not be able to transact insurance business until the license is renewed. If the expired license is not renewed within one year, you will need to file a new application, appointment(s), fees, and if required, complete prelicensing education and pass the qualifying exam.

For additional information on late renewals, consult the Nevada Department of Insurance.
