The Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services requires all vendors who sell or lease portable electronics devices, such as cell phones or electronic tablets, must obtain a limited insurance producer license, prior to issuing, selling, or offering portable electronics insurance coverage to customers, effective Jan. 1, 2012.

The licensing structure will allow for the licensed entity (such as large retailers) to maintain the license. Individual sales staff will not be required to obtain individual licenses as long as certain conditions are met.

Contact the Department for further information.
