Continuing-education requirements for Insurances in Alabama

Resident producers must complete 24 hours of continuing education each biennial cycle, of which at least 3 hours must be in ethics. Excess credits do not carry forward and a course cannot be repeated for credit within the same 2-year term. A reduced 12-hour requirement (2 hours ethics) applies to a producer/service representative employed to work only in the office of an employing producer or insurer who is not licensed as a non-resident elsewhere. Producers limited to certain lines only (credit, rental vehicle, crop, portable electronic, travel, motor club, dental services, legal services) are exempt from CE. No specific long-term care, annuity-suitability, or flood CE hour mandate was confirmed on the official pages reviewed.

How to renew your Insurance license in Alabama

Confirm your renewal deadline and current status on the Alabama Department of Insurance (ALDOI) portal.
Complete the required 24 CE hours and confirm they appear in NIPR.
Submit the renewal application and pay the current fee online.
Keep proof of CE and your renewal confirmation for your records.

Good to know: CE must be completed before the online renewal can be finalized. Online renewal is processed through NIPR (a $5 NIPR transaction fee applies on top of the $70 state fee); Sircon is also referenced as an option. After the 30-day grace period, the license may be reinstated up to 12 months from the last day of the birth month without re-examination by paying twice the renewal fee (and, for residents, completing required CE). Fee/late-fee/CE figures were verified via official aldoi.gov page content; direct page fetches timed out from the research environment, so values were confirmed through cached official-page search snippets rather than a live render.
