How to Apply for and Renew a Producer License in Vermont

Applying for a New Producer License in Vermont

Renewing a Producer License in Vermont

Vermont insurance licenses require CE every two years, with renewal due on March 31st of odd-numbered years. Licenses can be renewed anytime within 90 days before expiration.

Complete and verify continuing education (CE) hours. Verify that all the requirements in your transcript are complete.
Submit an electronic application and pay licensing fees through the NIPR.

Late Renewals: Vermont does NOT offer a grace period. If a license lapses for failure to complete CE, the licensee must apply with a new NAIC Uniform application, pay the $60.00 application fee. A CE extension may be granted with good cause by submitting a “Request for Extension” form.

Non-Resident Producer Licensing in Vermont

Vermont issues non-resident licenses in the same lines of authority as your home state. Be sure to review the Continuing Education (CE) reciprocity arrangements between Vermont and your home state to ensure compliance.

How to apply for a non-resident license:

Apply for a license through NIPR by choosing a Non-Resident License (NRL) Application and submitting supporting documentation along with fees.

How to transfer a resident license from another state to Vermont:

Cancel or convert your previous home state license to a non-resident license.
Submit a change of address form along with your new Vermont resident address to dfr.producerlicensing@vermont.gov.

Note: Licensees can transfer a resident license from another state to Vermont within 30 days of relocating (after surrendering the previous resident license) without retaking the licensing exams.

Agenzee has had a significant impact on our daily operations by saving us a tremendous amount of time. Instead of dedicating hours to manually maintaining a complex Excel spreadsheet, we now have an efficient system.
