The Gateway requires certain data standards for the transfer of appointment and termination information between state insurance regulators and the industry.

There are three (3) options to submit appointments and terminations through the Gateway:

1. Interactive Appointments and Terminations (IAT) - A front-end application that allows insurance carriers to appoint and terminate using their National Producer Number (NPN), eliminating the use of the Social Security Number (SSN). Transactions are validated with the Producer Database (PDB) prior to submission.
2. Customer Programming - A company can program to send appointments and terminations directly through the Gateway (not using IAT). This option allows clients to establish specified programming requirements and to build their own product.
3. NIPR's Resellers- Companies can choose to utilize one of NIPR's ABPs that offer value-added services.

Electronic licensing is the ability for a producer to quickly and easily apply for an initial or renewal resident or non-resident license. Non-resident licenses are based upon producer’s resident state lines of authorities. Using a standardized format, the online applications verify the producer’s information with the Producer Database (PDB), so there is no need for a letter of certification.

• Common NIPR electronic filing process provides ease of electronic submission.
• Prior knowledge of license eligibility.
• Prior knowledge of costs.
• One transaction payment for multiple licenses.
• Timelier notification to producer of license status.

The National Producer Number is a unique NAIC identifier assigned through the licensing application process or the NAIC reporting systems to individuals and business entities (including, but not limited to producers, adjusters, and navigators) engaged in insurance related activities regulated by a state insurance department. The NPN is used to track those individuals and business entities on a national basis.

NPNs are assigned to all individuals and most business entities on the PDB.

• Developed for both regulators and industry.
• Notifications are sent via email indicating a change has been made to the data stored in the Producer Database (PDB).
• Alerts are for both individuals and agencies.
• Types of data changes:
  • Appointments - Receives, renews or terminates an appointment. 
  • Demographics - Changes to a residence, business, mailing or other address in one or all of the licensed jurisdictions.
  • Licensing - Amends, cancels, changes or adds a line or license.
  • Regulatory Actions (RIRS) - A final regulatory action taken against them by a jurisdiction.
