Connecticut Insurance Licensing Going Paperless

Applying for insurance licenses in Connecticut is about to become a paperless experience.

Connecticut Insurance Commissioner Thomas B. Leonardi announced that beginning Aug. 1, 2011, applications for licensing will be accepted and processed only online on the department’s Web site, a move he said should be more efficient and less costly for the state.

The insurance department already allows licensees to print their licenses online.

“We will be able to process applications with greater speed and we want to make sure that licensees are notified well in advance of the August 1 switch,” Leonardi said.

The online system will apply to new, reinstatement and amendment applications only for:

• Producer (Residents Only)
• Surplus Lines Broker
• Casualty Claim Adjuster
• Certified Insurance Consultant
• Life Settlement Broker
• Motor Vehicle Physical Damage Appraiser
• Public Adjuster
• Reinsurance Intermediary
