Oklahoma to Issue Temporary New Licenses for Insurance Producers, Adjusters

Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Glen Mulready has approved waiving certain requirements for new licenses issued to producers and adjusters. These measures will ensure services remain available during the state’s response to COVID-19.

The Oklahoma Insurance Department (OID) contracts with a national vendor who has temporarily closed all testing centers nationwide due to the COVID-19 public health emergency.

OID has responded by making temporary producer and adjuster licenses available for Oklahoma residents who are unable to take current license examinations. This does not apply for renewals. Temporary licenses, when issued, will be effective until 30 days after the state’s declaration of emergency ends.

All applications for temporary producer or apprentice adjuster licenses must be submitted with payment by mail. To protect Oklahoma consumers, background checks will be completed on all temporary license applications. All temporary licensees will require a licensed resident sponsor who will oversee their work and conduct and be accountable for the temporary licensee with the Oklahoma Insurance Department.
