The North Carolina Department of Insurance is preparing 2012-2013 annual company appointment renewal billings. All appointment renewals must be processed electronically through the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR). The NIPR website is http://www.nipr.com/. Payment cannot be sent directly to the NC Agent Services Division.
Please note the following:
- Any appointment active on PDB when the invoices are created will be included on the invoice and payment is required.
- Appointments and Terminations submitted after 5 p.m. on January 25, 2012, will be held by NIPR in the Gateway AV (Awaiting Validation) status until February 1, 2012.
- On February 1, 2012, NIPR will post the annual appointment renewal invoice and a list of company appointments to be renewed on its website. Companies with no active appointments as of January 25, 2012 will not have an invoice.
- Companies cannot terminate or cross-off any names from the invoice.
- Only appointment invoices paid in full will be processed.
- Invoice payments are due by April 1, 2012. There will be a short grace period to pay via NIPR until May 16, 2012. All invoices not paid by this date will be removed from the website.
- The Department will cancel all company appointments if the annual appointment renewal invoice is not paid by May 16, 2012.
