Important Notices: (Residents)

These points can prevent delays if followed:

• Do NOT choose the “Fraternal Agent” license if you tested for Life and/or Accident & Health.
  Fraternal Agent and Insurance Producer are different license types. License fees are not refundable if you select the wrong type.
• Do NOT take the Certified Insurance Consultant (CIC) exam if your goal is a Producer license. The CIC exam does not qualify you for a Producer license.

---

Non-Residents:

• Connecticut grants license reciprocity if you hold an equivalent Producer license in your home state.
• Apply directly through National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR).

Non-Residents:

If your home state license already includes the line of authority you want to add, Connecticut will grant reciprocity.
