Effective Sept. 30, 2004, the Arkansas Insurance Department no longer requires a non-resident individual to provide a current home state certification with a new license application or for a license renewal if the individual’s home state participates with Producer Database (PDB). The department announced it has developed new software to perform an automatic lookup of the NIPR Producer, RIRS, and SAD databases, and therefore does not need home state license certifications on individuals. However, the automatic lookup program does not work for business entities. “Business Entities” include corporate or partnership insurance agencies, limited liability companies (LLCs) and limited liability partnerships (LLPs) acting as insurance agencies; but not sole proprietorships. For more information contact Fred Stiffler, director, License Division at (501) 371-2750 or fred.stiffler@arkansas.gov, or fax at (501) 683-2604.
