State Requirements

Supporting Documentation Requirements

• Do not submit an application unless all required supporting documentation is ready to be provided.
• If an applicant responds “yes” to any background question or is otherwise required to submit additional documentation, those documents must be submitted as part of the application process.
• Preferred Submission Method
  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.

An affiliation is not required and the applicant may skip the "Affiliations" page on the uniform application. Please note that any affiliations listed on an individual application are not recognized as a notification of affiliation and are not recorded by the Louisiana Department of Insurance. If an individual is to be affiliated with a business entity, the agency must file the affiliation after the individual is licensed.

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 acknowledgment 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.

Licensees renewing the Title authority are required to file an affidavit confirming continued eligibility for the license. The affidavit can be obtained from the Louisiana DOI website. Completed affidavits can be uploaded to the NIPR Attachment Warehouse.

Applicants subject to certified education (CE) requirements should verify that their CE hours have been reported to the Department of Insurance prior to submitting their license renewal. CE can be verified on the state web site.

Late Renewal

• A late renewal may be submitted if the license or line of authority:
• Has a status reason of lapsed, and
• Is within two (2) years of the license or line of authority expiration date.

Reapplication

• Renewal is not available if the license or line of authority:
• Has been inactive for more than two (2) years, or
• Is inactive for any status reason other than lapsed (for example, canceled).
• In these cases, the applicant must reapply through the Initial License Application.

Renewal year: Determined by the license number

• Licenses ending in an even number renew in even-numbered years
• Licenses ending in an odd number renew in odd-numbered years
