Missouri Insurance CE Renewal Requirements and Checklist

Missouri producer CE is generally a 16-hour, 2-year requirement for major lines, with ethics included. Renewal dates now align with the producer's birth date rather than the old license-anniversary system.

Renewal checklist

Check Missouri expiration and renewal window before the 90-day window opens.
Complete 16 hours with 3 ethics for major-line authority, or 8 title hours for title authority.
Verify CE compliance before NIPR renewal; leave time for the 72-hour status lag.
Use professional membership credit only when approved and capped at 4 hours.
Avoid using the late-renewal path as the plan because monthly late fees apply.

Common mistakes to avoid

Taking 16 hours per major line when Missouri uses a 16-hour total for combined Life/Health and P/C.
Missing the 3-hour ethics requirement.
Assuming title follows the same 16-hour track.
Filing renewal before NIPR sees CE compliance.
