Renewing a License

Florida licenses are perpetual, so renewals are not required. A license only expires if the licensee fails to make an appointment for more than 48 months or or fail to complete continuing education requirements.

Renewal Period: Licenses are perpetual but require CE completion every two years before renewal date.

Late Renewals: Appointments can only be made if CE requirements are completed on time. Failing to hold at least one appointment after 48 months results in the license expiring. If the license expires, the licensee must apply as a new applicant.

Insurance Pre-licensing and Continuing Education (CE) in Florida

The requirements depend on the license type and number of years since the initial licensure. Individual requirements are available in the licensee’s MyProfile account at DICE. Search the pre-licensing and CE requirements to find specific courses according to license type, city, or provider.

The CE courses must match the licensee’s lines of authority. LH and PC licenses require 50% of hours in each line. A Law and Ethics update course is required as part of the CE hours.

Years Licensed	Requirements
Less than 6 years	24 hours of CE biennially 4 hours Law and Ethics
More than 6 years	20 hours of CE biennially 4 hours Law and Ethics
Licensed 25 + years (CLU, CPCU, or RMI)	10 hours of CE biennially 4 hours Law and Ethics

Tip: Up to 24 hours of excess CE credits can be carried over to the next compliance period from the previous period.

Deadline: Complete CE by the end of the birth month following the second license anniversary and biennially thereafter. CE must be completed before submitting a renewal application.
