Continuing-education requirements for Insurances in Alaska

Most resident individual producers who have held a license for a full two-year period must complete 24 CE credit hours per biennial renewal cycle, of which 3 hours must be in ethics. No more than 8 hours may be in management, marketing, sales, and training. Up to 8 excess hours may carry over to the next cycle (ethics carries over as general; mgmt/marketing/sales/training do not carry over). Product-specific training is also required before transacting certain lines: a one-time 4-hour annuity suitability course (requires life authority), a one-time 8-hour long-term care course plus a 4-hour LTC training each renewal cycle (requires health authority), and FEMA NFIP flood training for those selling flood policies (which may also count toward CE).

Good to know: Resident producers renew electronically through NIPR (nipr.com Licensing Center); paper renewal incurs a $50 processing fee. The $75 fee is the biennial license fee for an Insurance Producer (any lines), individual resident, per Fee Schedule form 08-214. Late renewal is handled as a reinstatement with a delayed renewal penalty fee: $100 if 1-60 days late and $200 if over 60 days late (plus the renewal fee). A 90-day renewal window applies; applying within 90 days of expiration grants up to a 27-month license set to the second available expiration date. CE credits are reported by providers within 10 days and tracked via NAIC SBS (sbs.naic.org). Background check fingerprint fee (cited as $47 on web pages and $48.25 on the fee schedule) applies to initial/reinstatement after 12+ months, not routine renewal. Producers licensed continuously since 1979 or earlier, and certain temporary/limited-lines licensees, are exempt from CE.
