Mississippi Major Lines Insurance licensed more than eighteen (18) months must complete 24 credit hours of state approved continuing education every 2 years prior to their license expiration date. Of the 24 credits required, a minimum of 3 credits must be done in the category of Ethics Training. Agents licensed 13-18 months must complete 12 credits of continuing education. Expiration dates occur on the last day of the licensees birth month, every 2 years.

Major Lines licenses include:

• Life, Accident and Sickness
• Property and Casualty
• Personal Lines

Agents licensed in multiple major lines (Property and Life, for example) are only required to meet the same requirements as agents with single lines of licensing. In other words: the maximum number of credits you need to earn is 24 or 12 – regardless of how many license lines of authority you hold.

Licensees must take courses that are approved for their specific line of license. For example, agents who hold a Life Insurance license must take courses approved for that line of license. Agents with multiple lines of licenses (ex. Life and Property), can take all of their credits in one of their license types, or a combination of courses approved for their licenses types. Keep in mind that Ethics counts for every license type.

Licenses are eligible for renewal when:

1. all CE Requirements have been completed
2. when the licensee is within 90 days of their license expiration date

Licenses can be renewed online through NIPR.com, or Sircon. The renewal fee is $100, regardless of the number of licenses you hold.

Renewal applications will not be made available until all CE Requirements have been completed. We strongly encourage agents to complete their CE requirements at least 2 days in advance of their license expiration date so that their renewal application is available in time to renew their license.
