Insurance is mostly regulated on a state-by-state basis, with each state and U.S. territory determining their own legal standards and procedures. Here you can find state-specific information such as department of insurance contacts; read FAQs about licensing, carrier appointments, and Just-In-Time requirements; and stay up to date with relevant articles and blogs.
With AgentSync’s 50 State Summary Table, we’ve taken the top questions concerning licensing, appointments, adjuster, and business entity management and set them in a comparative grid across the states and territories. Have an at-a-glance understanding of how each state handles appointments or licensing.
