Submitting fingerprints before the application.
Apply for your license through NIPR before scheduling fingerprints.
Forgetting to attach the Fingerprint Background Waiver.
Insurance license applicants must include the fingerprint background waiver with their applications.
Miscalculating the renewal year.
Unlike most states that follow a biennial renewal cycle, Nevada insurance licenses renew every 3 years.
Not completing enough CE.
Nevada producers are required to complete 30 hours of CE, including 3 hours of ethics every three years, unless exempt.
Missing the renewal deadline.
A $250 fee applies to producer license renewals that miss the renewal deadline for the first 30 days. After 30 days and for up to one year, the fee increases to $435.
Forgetting to upload the fingerprint vendor confirmation receipt to your application.
Include the confirmation receipt from the fingerprint vendor and the fingerprint background waiver to your license application via the NIPR Attachments Warehouse.
