How to Keep Your Insurance License Active in Alabama

Posted on 06.22.22

This article covers all the steps you’ll need to follow to keep your insurance license active in Alabama. We’re confident that the BetterCE straightforward two-step process can help you renew your license quickly and without fuss.

Every two years, you need to renew your insurance license. This must be done within 90 days prior to the license expiration date, which is on the last day of your birth month. 

There are only two steps required to keep your insurance license active in Alabama:

  1. Complete the required continuing education.
  2. Submit your renewal application prior to expiration.

Step #1: Complete the Required Continuing Education

The Alabama Insurance Department requires that all major lines licensed agents complete 24 credit hours of state-approved continuing education every two years. Major lines are those agents who are licensed to sell: Life, Health, Property, Casualty, Personal Lines, Variable Annuity, and Variable Life coverages. Of the 24 credits required, at least 3 credits must be approved for ethics.

Remember that no matter how many licenses you hold, you only need to do a maximum of 24 credits total. For example, if you are licensed in Life, Health, and Property, you only need to do 24 credits total, 3 of which need to be in ethics. 

Special training requirements exist for agents selling long-term care, annuity, or flood insurance. 

  • Agents who sell long-term care policies must complete an initial 8-hour long-term care course prior to selling and then a 4-hour long-term care training every renewal period following. 
  • Any producer who sells Annuity products must complete a one-time 4-hour annuity suitability training prior to selling.
  • Property and Casualty Agents who sell flood insurance must complete a one-time 3-hour continuing education course related to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) prior to selling.

Other than the ethics course and any special training requirements, you can take courses in any subject matter as long as they are approved by the insurance department.

Step #2: Submit Your Renewal Application Prior to Expiration

After completing your CE requirements, the last step you need to take is to renew your Alabama insurance license. This must be done on or prior to your license expiration date but not more than 90 days in advance of your expiration date.

You can access your renewal application and file it online at NIPR Alabama License Renewal or Sircon License Renewal.
