Minnesota Insurance CE Renewal Requirements and Checklist

Minnesota producers must finish CE before the license renewal deadline. Course choice matters because part of the requirement cannot be sponsored by or affiliated with an insurance company or its agents.

Renewal checklist

  1. Confirm the expiration date on your Minnesota license.
  2. Complete 24 approved CE hours before renewal.
  3. Include 3 ethics hours.
  4. Make sure at least 12 hours are not company-sponsored or company-affiliated.
  5. Check that you are not repeating a course inside the same licensing period.
  6. Verify provider approval and credit posting through Sircon.

Compliance notes

  • The 12-hour non-company-sponsored requirement is easy to miss if all courses come from carrier-affiliated sources.
  • Course approval and provider good standing should be checked before enrollment, not after completion.
  • Product-specific training such as annuity, LTC, or flood should be confirmed separately when relevant.
