Supporting documentation should be uploaded electronically via NIPR’s Attachment Warehouse. Because access to the Attachment Warehouse is only available after an application is submitted, applicants should be prepared to upload all required documentation immediately upon submission. - Alternate Submission Methods
Supporting documents may also be submitted directly to the Louisiana Department of Insurance (LDI) via mail, email, or fax. If documentation is submitted using one of these methods: - Documents must be submitted the same day the license application is filed
- Documentation must include the application transaction number and applicant’s name
- Documentation submitted by mail must be postmarked within 24 hours of application submission
- Important: Applications submitted without complete supporting documentation may be closed as incomplete without further notice and may require reapplication.
- All required documentation must be received within thirty (30) days of application submission, or the application will be declined.
Upon license issuance and renewal, all Claims Adjusters licensed in Louisiana are required to read and acknowledge the claims adjuster standards of conduct provided in La. R.S. 22:1674.1 Your acknowledgement will be captured in a Louisiana state-specific question in the initial and renewal application submission. You may read review the standards of conduct on the Louisiana Department of Insurance website.
Applicants for the Variable line of authority (LOA) must supply FINRA CRD number on application.
Applicants for Title authority have special requirements. Please review the Louisiana DOI website for more information and the required affidavit. The affidavit can be uploaded to the NIPR Attachment Warehouse.

An affiliation is not required to apply for a license and the applicant may skip the "Affiliations" page on the uniform application.

If an individual is to be affiliated with a business entity, the agency must file the affiliation after the individual is licensed.
