IMPORTANT NOTICE

The Arkansas Insurance Department in compliance with the Producer Licensing Model Act is converting the license types of agent and broker to the new license type of  "Producer." This change in our records will take place the evening of January 28, 2010. Effective January 29, 2010, if you were previously licensed as an agent or broker, you will now be licensed as a "Producer." If you held both an agent and broker license, both will be combined in a "Producer" license. There will be no change to consultant or adjuster licenses.

During the conversion, all electronic license applications and electronic license renewals via NIPR or LEO will not be available for processing until this conversion is completed on Monday, February 1, 2010.

If you should have any questions regarding this change, please contact the License Division at 501-371-2750.
