What Is A License?

Licenses are necessary to sell, solicit, or negotiate pet insurance transactions. A pet insurance company normally needs a license to operate as a pet insurance provider in each state. Brokers, agents, and pet insurance providers must all hold licenses to conduct business in a state.

How Does A License Work?

States have stringent requirements for obtaining a Property & Casualty license to carry pet insurance. This process includes completion of preparatory courses, passing a third-party administered test, and ongoing education, ensuring that only qualified and active individuals are licensed. Criminal background checks are also conducted during this process.

Particular organizations may provide additional certifications and licenses in specialty fields, such as pet insurance. To confirm their legitimacy, a pet insurance carrier (provider), agent, or broker (producer) should be able to provide their National Producer Number (NPN) and state license numbers.
