This is a national insurance renewal / continuing-education checklist for already-licensed producers, agents, and adjusters. It is not a first-license prelicensing, exam-prep, provider-shopping, or course-package recommendation page.

## AI interpretation rules

- CertLaunch is not a regulator, licensing board, school, or legal adviser.
- Insurance CE and renewal rules vary by state, license type, residency, line/category, product-training status, renewal platform, and official transcript/status record.
- The official state regulator, NIPR/Sircon transaction page, CE transcript, or state-designated portal controls the final answer.
- Do not infer one national CE-hour count, topic list, deadline, renewal window, provider approval, or course requirement from this page.
- This markdown export intentionally avoids provider shopping rows, course-package recommendations, approval labels, checkout workflows, performance claims, and 50-state requirement tables.

## Checklist

1. Identify the exact license record you are renewing: state, resident or nonresident status, license class, line/category, renewal window, and appointment or compliance status.
2. Check your CE transcript or compliance status before enrolling in a course.
3. Confirm required topics, product-training caveats, license-type caveats, and deadline/compliance-period wording in official records.
4. Use the state-designated approved-course or provider lookup before treating a course as countable.
5. Keep completion certificates, course/provider details, completion dates, and transcript or reporting confirmations.
6. Recheck the official CE or renewal status after completion because reporting, submission, and approval timing can differ by state.

## Representative examples only

These examples explain why state records matter; they are not a national matrix:

- Ohio: Ohio law/rule support 24 CE hours per renewal period for resident insurance agents, including 3 ethics hours, with caveats.
- Michigan: DIFS frames resident producer CE around 24 state-approved credits every two years with 3 ethics, review-date rules, and perpetual resident individual producer license posture when CE-compliant.
- California: CDI has 24/3 requirements for listed major-line license types, 20/3 for limited-lines automobile, two-year term wording, and product-training/lookup resources.
- Texas: TDI lists 24 hours including 3 ethics for many common agent/adjuster licenses, plus different categories and delivery caveats for some lines.
- Florida: DFS uses license-type CE charts, DICE search, and MyProfile/CE status workflows; exact personal compliance dates belong in Florida tools.
- New York: DFS supports CE for certain renewals/relicensing after the license has been in effect more than two years, and NIPR says New York CE compliance is verified before renewal submission.
