Emergency license without examination: when may it be issued?

• A. When a property and casualty agent dies, becomes disabled, or insolvent and unable to pay premiums
• B. When the agency wants to expand to another state
• C. On the anniversary of license
• D. For nonresident emergency needs

Answer: (A)

An emergency license without examination is allowed when the licensee dies, becomes disabled, or becomes insolvent and unable to pay premiums. This temporary authorization is provided to ensure policyholders remain protected and the agency can wind down or transfer the business without forcing immediate lapse in coverage or disruption, while proper steps are taken to appoint a successor or arrange the orderly transition. It isn’t intended for expanding to a new state, isn’t tied to the license anniversary, and isn’t used for nonresident emergencies.
