Transparency for insurance consumers

Agent License Check

Know who you're trusting with your coverage. Before you buy a policy, make sure your agent is licensed in your state and appointed with the insurance company.

Why check your agent

  • Licensed where you live

    An agent needs an active license in your state to sell you a policy there.

  • Licenses lapse

    Licenses have to be renewed. A license that was valid last year may not be valid today.

  • Appointed with the carrier

    To sell a company's plans, an agent must also be appointed with that insurance company.

What an agent's page shows

Agents can publish a page at agentlicensecheck.org built from their records in the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR). Ask your agent for their link.

  • Licensed states

    A map of every state where the agent holds a current license.

  • Appointed carriers

    The insurance companies the agent is appointed with, and since when.

  • National Producer Number

    The agent's NPN, the ID regulators use across all states.
