A Designated Responsible Licensed Person (DRLP) is a licensed individual designated by a business entity to be responsible for the entity’s insurance license and regulatory compliance.

DRLP Required: YES

Business entities applying for or holding a Producer license must designate at least one DRLP.

The DRLP must:

• Hold an active Connecticut insurance license (resident or non-resident)
• Hold a license type that corresponds to the business entity’s license
• Be listed on the business entity's record through NIPR

There is no limit to the number of DRLPs a business entity may designate.

Important Producer License Rule

If the business entity holds a standard lines Producer license (Property & Casualty, Life, Accident & Health or Sickness, or Personal Lines), the DRLP must also hold at least one of those standard lines’ authorities.

An individual who only holds Credit, Travel, and/or Crop lines of authority cannot serve as the DRLP for a Producer business entity licensed for standard lines.
