All North Carolina Agents,
Agility wants to share the following urgent information from the North Carolina Department of Insurance (NCDOI):
North Carolina law mandates that agents must be both licensed and appointed to sell insurance products in the state.
A National Producer Number (NPN) override allows an agent to use another agent’s NPN, essentially bypassing this requirement in North Carolina.
The NCDOI emphasizes that agents must be properly licensed and appointed to assist consumers with Marketplace applications and plan changes.
NPN overrides violate these regulations.
Consequences of NPN Override in North Carolina:
Agents who engage in NPN overrides in North Carolina may face disciplinary action, including license suspension or revocation.
Key Takeaways:
Agility believes NPN overrides are strictly prohibited in North Carolina and agents must be licensed and appointed to sell insurance in the state.
We’ve attached the NCDOI memorandum on this so you can read this yourselves below.
If you have any questions or need any help on any of this information, please reach out to Agility now at 1-(866) 590-9771 or email [email protected] to assist you in addressing the issue of concern for your business.
