Major Lines licenses include:

• Life
• Accident and Health or Sickness
• Property
• Casualty
• Personal Lines

Kansas General Lines Licensed Agents must take 18 Credit Hours of Approved Continuing Education every 2 years, prior to their Expiration Date. Expiration dates occur on the last day of the agent’s birth month – every 2 years. This biennial due date is the last day of the producer’s birth month in each odd year for producers born in an odd-numbered year or each even year for producers born in an even-numbered year. Of the 18 credit hours required, at least 3 must be done in the category of Ethics Training. The remaining requirements are “non-license type specific”: Agents can take courses in any topic as long as they are approved by the Kansas Department of Insurance.

Producers licensed in multiple major lines (Property & Casualty and Life, for example) are only required to meet the same requirements as agents with single lines of licensing. In other words: you only must take 18 credit hours of CE, regardless of the number of lines of licensing you hold. You should check your CE Transcript to be certain of your renewal and CE requirement dates (review dates).

Agents must complete their CE Requirements prior to their license expiration date to be eligible to renew their license. Licenses can be renewed online through NIPR.com or Sircon.com. The renewal fee is $4 per license. Kansas also charges an additional $1 per credit hour “filing fee” that must be collected by the CE provider and remitted when credits are filed.

Licenses are eligible for renewal when 1) all CE Requirements have been completed and 2) when the licensee is within 90 days of their license expiration date.

Kansas CE Requirements are “Non-License Type Specific.” Producers can take courses in any subject matter as long as:

1. They are approved by the Kansas Department of Insurance
2. At least 3 of the credit hours are approved for Ethics credit

Continuing Education Requirements must be completed every 2 years, on or before the last day of the licensee’s birth month.
