Upgrade or downgrade your producer license - individual

Upgrading a producer license means the lines of authority on the license are changed from limited lines (surety, credit or travel) to full lines (life, disability, property, casualty or personal lines).

Whether you're upgrading or downgrading a license

Neither process may be completed online.

A license may not be downgraded or upgraded if it is within 90 days of the license expiry date. The license must be renewed before any changes to the lines of authority can be processed.

The license-effective and -expiry dates do not change when you downgrade or upgrade a producer license.

Only the lines of authority, renewal fees and continuing education requirements (for residents) change when a license is downgraded or upgraded.

  3. Returning to a full-lines license will include a $35 upgrade fee.
