Louisiana uses a system of birth month renewals for insurance producer licenses issued to individuals. The DOI will notify each producer in advance of the impending expiration of their license by both standard and electronic mail.

 Under Louisiana Law - an individual producer may not sell, solicit, or negotiate Long Term Care Insurance unless he has complied with the Long Term Care Requirements.  This is separate and distinct from the Continuing Education Requirements for a licensee.  The producer must complete an initial 8 hours and then at least 4 hours every two years after for renewal. Please view the state website for more information.

Excess hours may be carried over to the next reporting period. For LH agents up to 6 excess hours and for PC agents up to 10 excess hours can be carried over.
