Streamline Your 2025 Appointment Renewals in North Dakota: Key Dates and Fees

As we step into 2025, insurance carriers in North Dakota should prepare for the annual company appointment renewal process. From March 3 to April 30, 2025, renewal invoices will be accessible through the NIPR platform (North Dakota Appointment Renewals | NIPR) , ensuring seamless processing. Whether you’re renewing or reconciling appointments, understanding the deadlines and guidelines is crucial to avoid disruptions.

Key Dates and Deadlines

State-Specific Rules

North Dakota has implemented strict guidelines to streamline the appointment renewal process. All payments must be processed electronically through the NIPR platform (Company Appointment Renewals User Agreement) , as paper checks are no longer accepted. Starting March 3, 2025, companies can access their renewal invoices and appointment lists on the NIPR website. To avoid renewal fees for any appointments you no longer wish to maintain, termination requests must be submitted electronically by February 14, 2025. Once the invoice is generated, companies are unable to terminate or modify the appointment list.

Fees and Payments

Renewal fees for appointments in North Dakota are $10 per appointment. Additionally, a processing fee of 1% of the total state fee applies, with a minimum charge of $5 and a maximum of $1,000. For example, if you have 100 appointments at $10 each, the total processing fee will be $10. Please note that all fees, including NIPR transaction charges, are non-refundable.

How to Pay Your Invoice

To ensure your invoice is processed, follow these steps:

1. Visit NIPR’s Website .
2. Navigate to the “Company Appointment Renewal” section under “Payment Options.”
3. Log in using your NAIC CoCode, FEIN, or company name.
4. View, print, and pay your invoice by following the on-screen instructions.

By adhering to these deadlines and guidelines, companies can ensure a smooth renewal process and maintain their appointments without interruption.

Takeaways

To reconcile company appointments, carriers can access the Company Appointment Report (CAR) or use the Interactive Appointment and Termination Application through NIPR. Non-subscribers can contact NIPR Support or use a NIPR reseller such as Agenzee.

North Dakota’s 2025 company appointment renewals require strict adherence to deadlines and payment protocols. With no grace period or paper check options, timely action is essential.
