License Name Change

There are now two ways Licensees (individuals and business entities) can make changes to their licenses. 

1. Licensees (individual and business entities) can update name changes at www.nipr.com.  In addition, Insurance Business Entities can also update their Designated Responsible Licensed Producer at www.nipr.com. 

   When making name changes, supporting documents need to be uploaded in the document warehouse (within 24 hours). Instructions and links for license updates on NIPR.

2. Send written notification to Agent Services Division. 

   For individuals, the notification must include the previous and new name, national producer number (NPN), and the licensee's signature.   A copy of the marriage certificate, divorce decree, or other legal document showing the reason for the name change must be included.

   For business entities, the notification must include the previous and new name, License number, NPN, or FEIN and the Designated Responsible Licensed Producer's signature. A copy of the legal document showing the name change with the Secretary of State must be included.

Change My Address of Record

According to N.C.G.S. 58-2-69(b) " Every licensee must give written notification to the Commissioner of any change of the licensee's residential address within 10 business days after the licensee moves into their new residence. Effective 01/01/2010, every licensee must provide a valid e-mail address and give written notification to the Commissioner of any change to the licensee’s email address within 10 business days after the change. Failure to update residential address or e-mail within 10 business days must result in a $50.00 fee.

Licensees may change their address or e-mail address by completing the Free E-mail and Address Update online contact information maintenance system through State Based Systems (SBS) or through NIPR for North Carolina licensees. Licensees must provide current e-mail addresses because Agent Services Division sends important license notifications via e-mail.

You must cancel your resident NC license(s) to receive a resident license in a new state. Return the license(s) with a written request to cancel them. Be sure the request is signed. If you cannot find your license(s), submit a signed notarized statement requesting license cancellation and state which licenses you wish canceled include your name and national producer number (NPN).

Are you currently licensed in another state and moving to NC?

An individual who applies for an insurance producer license in this State who was before licensed for the same kinds of insurance in his or her home state is not required to complete any prelicensing education or examination per N.C.G.S. 58-33-32(d),. This exemption is only available if the application is received within 90 days after the applicant's previous home state license(s) are cancelled. ASD accepts the information on the Producer Database (PDB) maintained by the NAIC or affiliates or subsidiaries of the NAIC, indicating that the producer was licensed in good standing for the kind of insurance requested.

An applicant who meets the required criteria and has moved to North Carolina may apply using www.nipr.com.

Please note that in North Carolina, the Medicare Supplement/ Long-Term Care line of authority for the Insurance Producer license is separate from the Accident & Health or Sickness license.   If you had Medicare Supplement/Long-Term Care authority under your Health license in your former home state, you may apply for this additional line of authority when you apply for the Accident & Health or Sickness line of authority within 90 days of cancellation of your previous home state license.
