✅ Who Should Take This Course?
- New York licensed insurance agents, brokers, and producers renewing on or after April 1, 2022
- Property/casualty and life, accident and health licensees who need the mandatory 1-hour Insurance Law credit
- Producers who want a practical refresher on Article 21 licensing, appointment, and conduct rules
- Agents and brokers who handle premiums, charge fees, or advertise insurance products
- Newly licensed producers preparing for their first New York renewal
- Agency owners and managers keeping their teams CE-compliant
✅ Does This Course Satisfy the New York Insurance Law Requirement?
This course is designed to satisfy New York's mandatory one-hour Insurance Law instruction requirement, which applies to licenses renewed on or after April 1, 2022.
As you plan your renewal, keep the other mandatory topics in mind:
- The 1-hour Insurance Law requirement — this course is designed to meet it.
- The separate 1-hour ethics and professionalism and 1-hour diversity, inclusion, and elimination of bias requirements — available individually or bundled with this course in the 3 Hour New York Mandatory Topics Package.
- Flood hours, if they apply to you: 1 hour of flood instruction for property/casualty licensees and 3 hours of enhanced flood instruction for NFIP flood sellers. This course does not include flood instruction.
This course also counts as 1 credit toward the 15 total CE credits generally required for renewal. It does not satisfy the full 15-hour requirement by itself.
✅ New York Insurance Continuing Education Requirements
Under New York Insurance Law Section 2132, most New York insurance licensees must complete 15 credits of approved continuing education during each two-year licensing period once the license has been in effect for more than two years. For licenses renewing on or after April 1, 2022, Part 20 of the NYCRR requires that the 15 credits include:
- At least 1 hour of Insurance Law instruction
- At least 1 hour of ethics and professionalism instruction
- At least 1 hour of diversity, inclusion, and elimination of bias instruction
- At least 1 hour of flood insurance instruction, if licensed to sell one or more property/casualty lines
- At least 3 hours of enhanced flood insurance instruction, if selling flood insurance through the NFIP
Self-study and online courses require a passing grade on a final exam to receive credit. New York resident licensees must use a Department-approved provider organization, and all CE must be completed before the renewal or relicensing application is submitted. CE is generally not required for non-resident licensees who are CE-compliant in their home state.
How this course helps: This 1-hour course is designed to satisfy New York's mandatory one-hour Insurance Law instruction requirement for licenses renewed on or after April 1, 2022. It contributes 1 of the 15 total credits required for renewal; the remaining 14 credits — including the separate ethics and diversity mandatory topics and any flood hours that apply to your license — must be completed separately.
✅ When Do New York Licensees Renew?
New York insurance licenses renew every two years, and expiration dates vary by licensee — check your license record in the DFS portal to confirm your exact date. Individual and TBA producer licenses expiring on the licensee's birthday can generally be renewed up to 180 days before expiration.
Because CE must be completed before you submit your renewal application, finish your credits early instead of racing your expiration date.
✅ How to Renew Your New York Insurance License
Step 1: Confirm Your License Record — Check your license type, lines of authority, and expiration date in the DFS portal.
Step 2: Confirm Your CE Requirements — Most licensees need 15 credits per cycle, including the mandatory topics. Your flood hours depend on whether you sell P&C lines and whether you sell NFIP flood insurance.
Step 3: Enroll Online — Enroll in the 1 Hour New York Insurance Law Online CE Course for $9.99 and start immediately.
Step 4: Complete the Coursework — Work at your own pace, log in and out anytime, and pass the final exam to earn self-study credit.
Step 5: Receive Your Instant Certificate — Your certificate of completion is emailed to you the moment you finish.
Step 6: We Report Your Completion — 1st Choice CE reports your completion to New York within 24 hours, so the credit is on your record.
Step 7: Renew With the State — Renew online through NY LINX, the DFS portal, using your DFS ID with multi-factor authentication. Submit before your expiration date and confirm your renewed status afterward.
