North Dakota Insurance CE Renewal Requirements and Checklist

North Dakota renewal has two separate requirements: CE compliance and the renewal application/fee. Both must be handled before the expiration date.

Renewal checklist

  1. Find your license expiration date and CE compliance status.
  2. Complete 24 approved CE credits if your line requires CE.
  3. Make sure at least 3 credits are ethics.
  4. Give providers your NPN so credits report to the correct record.
  5. Confirm required CE hours are on file with the Department before renewal.
  6. Submit the NIPR renewal application within 90 days before expiration and pay the renewal fee.
  7. Print or save the renewed license through SBS after approval.

What to watch

  • CE alone is not renewal: the renewal application and fee are separate.
  • No grace period: missing the expiration date cancels the license and appointments.
  • NPN matters: incorrect producer identifiers can delay CE posting.

Course planning

TSI National can help you plan CE, but the North Dakota Insurance Department controls CE compliance and renewal approval. Start with your CE record and expiration date, then choose courses that close the total and ethics gaps. You can review training options on the TSI National course results page.
