Continuing-education requirements for Insurances in New Hampshire

A resident producer holding Life, Accident & Health, Property, Casualty, or Personal lines must complete 24 credit hours of NH-approved continuing education every 2-year cycle, of which at least 3 (and no more than 10) must be an approved ethics course. CE must be completed 60 days before license expiration to avoid penalty fees. Excess hours cannot be carried over and a course cannot be repeated for credit within a cycle. Resident licensees renewing for the first time after passing the NH exam are exempt from CE. Separately, P&C resident producers who sell flood insurance must complete a one-time flood insurance training requirement (Bulletin INS-24-006). Annuity sales require best-interest/suitability training under rule INS 300. CE rules are codified in INS 1300.

How to renew your Insurance license in New Hampshire

Confirm your renewal deadline and current status on the New Hampshire Insurance Department portal.
Complete the required 24 CE hours and confirm they appear in SBS (NAIC State Based Systems); renewals processed via 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: All resident renewals are processed electronically through nipr.com (credit card or e-check). CE completion is reported by approved providers directly to State Based Systems (SBS), which supplies compliance data to the Department; students pay the provider $1 per credit hour to record it. Late fee of $50 applies if CE is completed within the 60-day window before expiration; if CE is completed after expiration the fee doubles to twice the license fee. Reinstatement within 2 years of expiration costs $300 and requires CE compliance; after 2 years the initial license requirements (including re-exam) apply. The published $150 is the biennial renewal fee; the late CE fee of $50 is in addition. Non-resident producers have no NH CE requirement.
