✅ Florida Insurance License Renewal Requirements

Florida insurance continuing education requirements depend on license type and how long the agent has been licensed. Many Florida resident insurance agents must complete continuing education every two years, including a required Law & Ethics Update course for their license type plus approved elective continuing education hours.

For many major-lines Florida insurance agents, the CE requirement is commonly 24 hours every two years, while agents licensed for 6 or more years may qualify for a reduced 20-hour requirement. Your exact CE requirement is shown in your Florida DFS MyProfile account.

This 1-hour course is an approved Florida insurance CE course that may be used toward eligible elective continuing education hours for General Lines agents.

✅ When Do Florida Insurance Agents Have to Renew?

Florida insurance CE is generally due every two years by the end of the licensee’s birth month. Your exact deadline and remaining CE requirements are shown in your Florida DFS MyProfile account.
