✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course provides 4 approved elective hours toward your Florida insurance continuing education requirement. It does not by itself complete your renewal, and it does not satisfy the separate 4-hour Law & Ethics Update requirement. General lines agents meet that requirement with a course coded CE 5-220, which we offer separately.

✅ Florida Insurance Continuing Education Requirements

Florida insurance licensees complete continuing education on a two-year cycle. For most agent license types the total is 24 hours, made up of a 4-hour Law & Ethics Update specific to your license type plus 20 elective hours. Totals do vary by license type - the Department publishes requirements ranging from 10 to 24 hours - and some licensees have a lower elective total based on how long they have been licensed, so confirm your own figure on your license record before you buy.

• Cycle length - 24 months, repeating every two years
• Total for most agent licenses - 24 hours (4 hours Law & Ethics Update + 20 elective hours)
• Law & Ethics Update - must match your license type; general lines agents use CE 5-220
• Multiple licenses - completing the Law & Ethics Update for one license type satisfies the requirement
• Delivery - Florida accepts approved self-study and online CE for these hours
• Reporting - providers have 21 days to report; 1st Choice CE reports within 24 hours
• Appointments - lack of an appointment does not eliminate the CE requirement

How this course helps: This 4-hour course contributes 4 of the 20 elective hours most Florida agent licenses require. It does not satisfy the 4-hour Law & Ethics Update, and it does not complete the full 24-hour total on its own. After this course, general lines agents still need the CE 5-220 Law & Ethics Update plus their remaining elective hours.

✅ When Do Licensees Renew?

Florida CE is due by the last day of your birth month once you have been licensed 24 months, and every two years after that. The date is tied to your birth month, not to the day you bought a course, so give provider reporting time before your deadline. Renewing your license and completing your CE are two separate things - finishing CE does not by itself renew a license.

✅ How to Renew Your Florida Insurance License

1. Sign in to your MyProfile account on the Florida Department of Financial Services website and check your license type, status and CE transcript.
2. Note your compliance due date - the end of your birth month - and how many hours you still owe.
3. Complete the 4-hour Law & Ethics Update coded for your license type, plus your elective hours.
4. Allow reporting time. Florida gives providers 21 days; 1st Choice CE reports within 24 hours of your completion.
5. Return to MyProfile and confirm every course appears on your CE transcript and your compliance shows as met.
6. Complete any license renewal or appointment steps the Department shows as outstanding, and pay any fee due.
7. Save your certificates and your confirmation, and verify your license shows active with the updated date.
