Insurance agent licenses normally must be renewed every how many years?

• A. 2 years
• B. 1 year
• C. 3 years
• D. 4 years

Answer: (A)

Licenses for Life, Accident, and Health insurance agents are renewed on a two-year cycle. This two-year interval keeps licensees current with changing laws and products while keeping the renewal process manageable for both the agent and the state. Before renewal, agents typically must complete continuing education and pay the renewal fee. Renewal every year would be more burdensome, while waiting three or four years could allow outdated information to go unchecked.
