Birth Month Renewal:

The Indiana Department of Insurance will be converting license renewal dates from the current method to birth month renewals. The conversion will begin with producers and adjusters renewing in May 2012. As of May 2012, when license renewals and reinstatements are processed, the new license renewal date will be based on birth month The process should be completed by the end of May 2015.

Birth month conversion will not affect the renewal of business entity licenses, which will continue to be due for renewal during the month initially licensed.

The license expiration conversion to the last day of  the licensees birth month will not impose any additional license fee, will not shorten the license renewal period, and will not increase continuing education requirements for the next license period.

Initial Licenses:
Beginning May 1, 2012, individuals approved for licensure as a producer will be issued licenses that will expire the last day of the birth month at least 24 months following the date of licensure.

Electronic Renewal:
Paper renewals will no longer be mailed through the U.S. mail.  Renewal notices will be sent electronically to the email address on file through Sircon. The electronic renewal notice will be sent approximately 60 days prior to the renewal date. Business email addresses can be used.

Producers are subject to an address violation if they do not have a valid, current email address on file with the Department. If for some reason a renewal invoice is not received by the licensee, it is still the individual’s responsibility to renew their license before the expiration date. Expiration dates can be found at www.sircon.com/indiana.
