Georgia Resident and Non-resident Renewals

The State of Georgia has amended its state statutes and procedures regarding agent license renewals. Effective immediately, all Georgia resident and non-resident license renewal applications will be sent out in September 2004 to all licensed agents.

The renewals are due back to the state of Georgia by November 1st, which means that all Continuing Education hours should be completed by September 30th to allow time for the providers to submit the completed hours to the states, and to allow the states ample time to update their systems.

Although agent licenses list December 31, 2004 as the expiration date, per state rules, this date is no longer valid, and this new procedure is not just for the current renewal period, it is a permanent change by the state of Georgia.

Please note that the state will not renew a resident or non-resident license if the continuing education hours have not been completed. Should this be the case, the resident or non-resident agent will not be allowed to conduct insurance related business until the license has been properly renewed by the state of Georgia.
