Continuing Education Requirements
Once an agent receives a license, that agent must satisfy continuing education requirements. These biennial requirements for a resident agent are:
| Authority | Hours | Course Type |
|---|---|---|
| Life and/or Health* | 12 | Life/Health |
| Property and/or Casualty* | 12 | Property/Casualty |
| Crop Only | 2 | Crop |
| Title Only | 4 | Title |
| Pre-need Only | 2 | Life/Health |
*Such requirement shall include at least one hour of instruction in insurance ethics. No more than three Continuing Education Credits shall be in insurance agency management.
For those agents who were born in an odd-numbered year, the biennial due date is the agent's date of birth in each odd year. For those agents born in an even-numbered year, the biennial due date is the agent's date of birth in each even year. Such due date shall not be earlier than two years following the agent's initial licensure.
Requirements For Compliance
Kansas resident agents must complete courses approved by the Kansas Insurance Department.
- Only the Kansas Insurance Department course certification, form KCE-4, or an official grade report from a provider of professional designation courses will be accepted. Please call the Producers Division at (785) 296-6755 to verify that a professional designation course has been approved by the Department.
- Courses must be completed during the biennium to which they are to be applied.
- Upon completion of the total number of hours required for compliance, a copy of each course certificate must be submitted to the Department by the agent's biennial renewal date for verification of CE compliance.
Nonresident agents must renew on-line or send a $50 biennial license fee by the renewal due date. A Certification Letter from the agent's home state is not required. License status will be verified through PDB as proof of continuing education compliance (PDB Participating State Report at http://www.nipr.com/html/nrlHomeStates.html).
Licenses Cancelled for Noncompliance with CE Requirements
If a Kansas resident or nonresident license is suspended or terminated for failure to submit continuing education/renewal requirements the agent must provide:
- Course certification, if a resident agent.
- Verification of license status through the NAIC PDB and a $50 biennial license fee, if a nonresident agent.
- Reinstatement fee of $100 per continuing education category.
- Company appointment and/or application forms and fees may be required, dependent upon the length of time that has passed from the agent's renewal due date.
