Continuing-education requirements for Insurances in Georgia

Resident producers with fewer than 20 years of licensure must complete 24 CE hours per biennial renewal, including 3 hours of ethics. Beginning in 2026, licensees with more than 20 years of service receive a 4-hour reduction (20 hours, still including 3 ethics hours). Holders of certain professional designations (e.g., CPCU, CLU, CIC, CFP, ChFC) need only 12 hours including 3 ethics. The 3-hour ethics requirement must be completed fresh each renewal period. Producers licensed after Aug 1, 2023 who sell annuities must complete a one-time 4-hour Annuity Best Interest course. Excess CE may be carried over but not exceeding 50% of the biennial requirement.

How to renew your Insurance license in Georgia

Confirm your renewal deadline and current status on the Georgia Office of Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire (Office of the Commissioner of Insurance) portal.
Complete the required 24 CE hours and confirm they appear in Sircon.
Submit the renewal application and pay the current fee online.
Keep proof of CE and your renewal confirmation for your records.

Good to know: Renewal/CE is administered via Sircon (sircon.com/georgia), the state's licensing system of record; NIPR is also accepted for online renewal. The published renewal fee on the official "Renew an Agent License" page is not a single fixed amount for resident producers — it is listed as $100 (Agent, renew without variable/annuity authority) or $200 (Agent, renew with variable authority), so a single resident producer renewal fee field is nulled. No specific late/reinstatement dollar amount is published on the official pages; reinstatement within 12 months of non-renewal requires a reinstatement fee plus late fee, any missing CE, and fingerprinting if inactive more than 6 months. No long-term care or flood-specific CE mandate found on official pages; an annuity best-interest training requirement applies to annuity sellers.
