• Resident agents must complete the required number of Virginia-approved course credits on or before the license expiration date.

* For consultants/producer only this may include Insurance Law and Regulations

•  If a resident agent holds a producer license and a related consultant license, then one must only satisfy the requirements for one of those licenses in order to be in compliance.
• Resident agents holding one license type, or holding both Life & Annuities and Health licenses, must complete 16 credit hours of CE.
• Resident agents holding two or more license types must complete 24 credit hours of CE, with a minimum of eight credit hours applicable to each license type held.
• No more than 75 percent of required credits may come from courses provided or given by insurance agencies or insurance companies. This includes all insurance companies or agencies, not just companies or agencies with which one is associated.

• Residents must complete 24 credit hours of CE which includes 3 hours of Ethics.

In conjunction with the renewal process, resident individual public adjusters must complete 24 hours of CE, 3 of which must be Ethics, every 24 months. Requirements are found in the public adjuster section of the Continuing Education Handbook. 

The license will not be renewed if the public adjuster has failed to satisfy the CE requirements.

Nonresidents are not required to complete CE.

• CE credits will not be awarded for courses completed before the license was issued.

• Excess CE credits will not be carried forward to the next renewal cycle.
