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
- Check expiration and CE transcript in Sircon before the 90-day renewal window.
- Complete 24 hours with at least 3 hours listed as Ethics in Sircon.
- Keep company-sponsored or affiliated course credit to 12 hours or less.
- Do not take duplicate courses in the same licensing period.
- Confirm provider-uploaded credit appears before filing renewal.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Taking more than 12 hours from company-affiliated courses.
- Assuming a course with ethics in the title counts if Sircon does not categorize it as Ethics.
- Completing more than 8 hours in one day and expecting all hours to count.
- Filing renewal before the transcript shows compliant.
