Important Notices

Technology Surcharge Reduced - Effective May 1, 2012, the technology surcharge is reduced from $35 to $30. [Minn. Stat. §45.24 (f)]. In 2007, the Minnesota Legislature passed a provision requiring many applicants for licensure and current licensees to pay a fee to cover the costs associated with implementing the Department's electronic licensing systems. This legislation affects individual insurance producers and adjusters and is added to the total cost of the license or license renewal. In return for paying the technology fee, insurance producers and adjusters and their education providers do not have to pay on a per-transaction basis to use many of the online services, such as printing a license, requesting letters of certification, making address or name changes, etc.

In addition, a Minnesota law passed in 2009 now requires any board or agency to assess a surcharge on all new licenses or registrations issued or renewed until June 30, 2015. Applicants already paying a current and separate Technology Surcharge, however, are exempt from the new surcharge. The surcharge is 10 percent of the fee - no less than $5 and no more than $150 - on each business, commercial, professional, and occupational license or registration. This surcharge is being collected on behalf of the Minnesota Office of Enterprise Technology (OET) to fund a statewide electronic licensing system (M.S. 16E.22). It is identified on the system as the "OET surcharge." Please call 651-556-8005 for further information.

Name Change - Licensees are required to notify the Commerce Department in writing of any name change within ten days of the change. Use this form to report a name change: Name Change - Insurance Licensee.

Minnesota License Renewal Availability - You may renew your license NOT MORE than 60 days before your expiration date. If you try more than 60 days before your expiration date, you will receive a message that states:

"The National Producer Database found your resident license but did not identify any licenses for renewal at this time. Please try again at a later date."

Please wait until no more than 60 days before and try again.

Minnesota Lapsed Licenses - If you are an individual insurance producer or adjuster and you were scheduled to renew your license in 2011, you may reinstate it online up to 12 months after it lapsed by paying twice the unpaid renewal fee. Your reinstated license will expire on the last day of your birth month in the year that will result in the term of the license being at least 12 months, but no more than 24 months.

Please note: Appointments are not reactivated when a license is reinstated.

The following groups of lapsed licensees may submit a reinstatement request:

  • All non-resident individual insurance producers
  • All non-resident adjusters
  • Resident individual insurance producers who have met the continuing education requirements
  • Resident adjusters who have met the continuing education requirements

To submit for immediate electronic reinstatement, click on 'Renew Your License' in the left-hand column.

Resident individual insurance producers and resident adjusters who have met the continuing education (CE) requirements but are unable to submit a reinstatement online because the system still lists their CE compliance as pending should review their CE transcript and contact the provider of any course that does not appear there. The provider will need to upload the associated course roster. Once the roster upload has been processed by the system, the producer will be able to submit the reinstatement.

An adjuster or producer whose license lapsed over 12 months ago must retake the insurance exam and reapply as a new applicant.

Notice to Insurance Producers and Adjusters regarding required Ethics continuing education hours
Please note that ONLY courses pre-approved by the Minnesota Department of Commerce and listed on the Sircon system under the "Ethics" course category count toward the 3-hour Ethics continuing education requirement. Don't assume that a course will satisfy the requirement simply because it has the word "ethics" in its name or lists "ethics" on its syllabus.

** Attention Property and Casualty Producers **

Commissioner Rothman has issued an Agent Alert reminding you of the importance of informing your clients and other consumers about being prepared for potential losses associated with flood damage. Producers are urged to reach out to clients and the general public as the spring flood season approaches to inform them that flood damage is not typically covered under a homeowners/rental policy and that flood insurance policies do not become active until after a 30-day waiting period. Depending on how quickly this winter's record snowfall melts, consumers and businesses that wait to act could be caught without coverage.

As a reminder, Bulletin 2007-13 issued in 2007 requires all producers of their responsibility under federal law to undergo three hours of approved training before selling flood insurance policies. This one-time requirement can be met by taking an approved class made available here in Minnesota. To view a copy of the Commissioner's Agent Alert, click here.

Important Licensing Changes Effective July 1, 2010 -The following list of changes will impact licensed individual producers and adjusters beginning July 1, 2010. This is not an exhaustive list but explains important changes affecting licensing requirements, reinstatement and continuing education. To view a copy of these and other changes to the law, including a "Birth-month Renewal Chart" and frequently asked question document, click here.

Insurance Producers:

  • Pre-license education will consist of 20 hours per major line of authority.
  • Pre-license and continuing education courses may be obtained over the Internet or via other verifiable self-study.
  • An applicant for a resident producer license or a new line of authority must submit fingerprints for a criminal history background check.
  • Continuing education will consist of 24 hours during each biennial licensing period including 3 hours of ethics.
  • The license renewal date will change from October 31 to the last day of the producer's birth month in the year that will result in the term of the license being no less than 12 months and no more than 24 months. (This change will be phased in according to the "Birth Month Renewals" chart located within the Important License Changes document.)

Insurance Adjusters:

  • Continuing education will consist of 24 hours during each biennial licensing period including 3 hours of ethics.
  • Continuing education courses may be obtained over the Internet or via other verifiable self-study.
  • Adjuster licenses will be issued with property and casualty, workers' compensation and crop lines of authority. All current independent and public adjuster licenses will be converted to the property and casualty line of authority.
  • The license renewal date will change from October 31 to the last day of the adjuster's birth month in the year that will result in the term of the license being no less than 12 months and no more than 24 months. (This change will be phased in according to the "Birth Month Renewals" chart located within the Important License Changes document.)
  • An applicant for a resident independent or public adjuster license or a new line of authority must submit fingerprints for a criminal history background check.
  • A distinction will now be made between resident and nonresident adjusters in terms of a "home state". If the adjuster's resident state does not license adjusters for the line of authority sought, the adjuster may designate as the home state any state in which the adjuster is licensed and in good standing. Nonresident adjusters must maintain a resident adjuster license in their home state in order for their Minnesota nonresident adjuster license to remain valid.
  • Adjusters whose licenses expire will be able to reactivate them within 12 months of the renewal date by paying double fees.
  • Independent and public adjusters will start paying the $40 technology surcharge.

NOTE: Reinstatements will be available electronically this fall following the October 31, 2010, renewal for adjuster licenses that converted on July 1 to the property and casualty qualification. For licenses with the old qualifications that expire before July 1, reinstatement requests must be submitted on paper.
