In accordance with Insurance Law Section 2132, 15 credits of continuing education (CE) are required to renew or to relicense certain insurance licenses. CE will be required once the license has been in effect for more than 2 years and for every
subsequent renewal or relicensing. Credits must be accumulated during the licensing period, which begins with the effective date of the license. In the case of relicensing, you may use credits accumulated in the previous licensing period, plus any completed up to the date that the re-licensing application is submitted. CE must be completed before submitting the renewal or relicensing application. To satisfy the CE requirement you must take an
approved course offered by a New York approved Provider. Providers offer courses covering insurance topics, such as life insurance or property insurance, that are applicable to specific license types and topics such as ethics and New York laws and regulations that are common to all license types. You may take any course that is approved for your specific class of license. Courses may be offered in the classroom, via webinar or by self-directed study, either online or via textbook. If
you choose to complete a self-study course, you must take and pass a final exam to receive credit. NOTE: Effective November 2, 2020, the requirement that a monitor be present when taking the exam was eliminated. Find a CE Provider by using the Continuing Education Provider Search (DFS portal). To find an approved classroom/seminar course being offered in your area, a webinar offering or a self-study course use the Continuing Education Course Search (DFS Portal). Please contact the provider directly to determine availability and to register for the course.

We suggest that you complete your required continuing education hours at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date of your license to allow sufficient time for your provider to submit the necessary information and for the California Department of Insurance to update your records. If hours are completed at the end of your renewal term, the license renewal process may be delayed while your hours are processed. How can I check to see if the California Department of Insurance has received my continuing education hours and how many hours of credit I have accumulated?
The continuing education provider has 30 days from the course completion date to submit the student roster to the department. If it has been more than 30 days since you completed the course, contact the provider to verify both your social security and license numbers with the provider and request that they submit the student roster to the California Department of Insurance. How is the completion date determined for courses that I have taken?

Once the new cycle begins, the excess hours should be reflected in the new license term.
