State Requirements

Applicants with an inactive Vermont non-resident license may apply for a Vermont resident license.

Applicants will be prevented from applying electronically if they hold an active resident license in another state while applying for a resident license in Vermont.

Applicant is required to enter exactly one Designated Responsible Licensed Producer (DRLP) that is actively licensed in Vermont. Applicant may not enter more than one DRLP.

Please allow up to 10 business days to process the application. If your application was accepted, please visit the Vermont website at https://dfr.vermont.gov/industry/insurance/producer-and-individual-licensing and choose Check the Status of a License. You will be able to print documentation containing the status of your license.

If applicant responds "yes" to one of the background questions please submit supporting documents electronically via NIPR's Attachments Warehouse. The documents may also be submitted to the state via mail, email, or fax.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

• All Vermont business entity licenses expire on March 31 of odd-numbered years.
• The renewal period opens 90 days prior to expiration (January 1 – March 31). Business entities that are issued a new license during this period must submit a renewal application and pay the renewal fee immediately after the license is issued in order to maintain active status beyond March 31.
• Example: If a new license is issued on February 26, 2027, the license will expire on March 31, 2027. Because the license was issued during the renewal period, the business entity must return to NIPR and file a renewal application immediately after issuance to keep the license active.
• For license-specific renewal details, please refer to the Vermont Business Entity License Renewal page.
