Important Information

  • Licenses with an “Expired” status may show active appointments. You will NOT be billed for these appointments.

COMPANY APPOINTMENT RECONCILIATION REPORT (CARR)

NIPR offers a tool called the Company Appointment Reconciliation Report (CARR). Companies can use CARR to terminate the appointments of insurance producers who no longer represent the company.

The CARR also makes it easier for regulators and the insurance industry to renew appointments. As a NIPR customer, you can use the CARR to create a list of your active appointments for a specific company in a specific state. 

The CARR also lets you complete “Not for Cause” terminations directly from the report so you can compare your company’s producer listing to the Producer Database. Terminations are generated electronically through the NIPR Gateway.
