I am an Arizona licensed agent and have recently moved to North Dakota and obtained employment through an agency in Williston. What are the requirements for me to become licensed in North Dakota? 

According to the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR), your Arizona resident license is still active. You will need to cancel your Arizona resident license before you can apply for a North Dakota resident license. Once your Arizona license has been canceled, you can apply for a North Dakota license through NIPR. The fee is $100 plus a $5 transaction fee. If you apply to North Dakota within 90 days of the date your Arizona license is canceled, you will not have to take any prequalifying exams.

What is the license renewal procedure for a non-resident agent?

Non-resident individuals must renew their licenses every two years by the last day of their birth month. The expiration dates are printed on the licenses. You may look up the expiration date of a license through the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) State Based Systems (SBS).

The producer license issued to a business entity is a perpetual/continuous license that does not have an expiration/renewal date. The license remains in good standing as long as the resident license is active and in good standing, the named designated producer is active and in good standing, and the certificate of authority issued by the North Dakota Secretary of State is in good standing.
