The Idaho Legislature has approved an update to IDAPA Rule 18.01.53 that allows the Department of Insurance to enforce a Continuing Education (CE) requirement for Resident and Designated Home State-Idaho Independent Adjusters. (Nonresident and agency adjusters are not affected by this rule.)
The following are some basic things to know about this change:
- The number of CE credits required at each two year renewal will be a total of 24 with a minimum of 3 credits in Ethics
- The DOI is working with our IT vendor, Sircon, to update our licensing system in order to allow for a gradual implementation of this requirement
- Effective date: As currently licensed Resident and Designated Home State-Idaho Independent Adjusters renew their license, the system will create a CE Review Period for the following 2 year license period that will require CE completion before renewing. Thereafter, CE will be required to renew.
- Newly licensed independent adjusters will have the CE requirement in place once the system adjustment is released.
- The DOI will send an email notice when this adjustment is in place. Please be sure your contact information is correct in our system. Updates can be made via NIPR’s Contact Change Request service.
Adjusters must use the CE Course Catalog at the DOI website to find approved courses.
Credits received can be tracked using the Continuing Education Transcript Inquiry function.
Providers are required to upload credits into the license record for tracking purposes.
CE credits are due prior to the expiration of the license. However, the Department of Insurance strongly urges credits be taken gradually over the two year license period.
For additional information regarding Continuing Education or this rule change, please contact the licensing section at agent@doi.idaho.gov or 208-334-4339.
