Continuing-education requirements for Insurances in North Dakota

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.

How to renew your Insurance license in North Dakota

Confirm your renewal deadline and current status on the North Dakota Insurance Department 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: Renewal is submitted online via NIPR (nipr.com). CE credit status and transcripts are viewable through the NAIC State Based Systems (SBS) License Manager; CE providers report credits electronically. No dollar late/reinstatement fee is published for late renewal — instead the license is canceled and a new initial application (with its own fee, e.g. $100 referenced for reapplication) is required, so late_fee_usd is null rather than a true reinstatement fee. The $25 renewal fee is the state DOI fee; NIPR adds a transaction fee at checkout.
