What North Dakota requires for Insurance renewal
| CE hours required | 24 hours per cycle |
|---|---|
| Renewal cycle | 24 months |
| CE tracking system | NIPR |
| Governing body | North Dakota Insurance Department |
Resident producers licensed for life and annuities, accident and health, casualty, property, personal lines, and/or crop hail must complete at least 24 CE credit hours per biennial compliance period, including 3 hours of ethics (ethics hours may carry forward only as regular hours, not as ethics). Up to 12 hours over the minimum taken within 365 days before expiration may carry over to the next period (ethics excluded). Producers holding only credit, surety, travel/baggage, title, bail bonds, or legal expense lines are exempt from CE but must still renew. Separate (non-CE) training applies for annuity suitability and for long-term care partnership policies (initial 8-hour course plus 4 hours every 24 months). CE must be completed by mid birth-month in the renewal year since providers have 15 days to report credits.
