REQUIRED HOURS
Producers in Maine are required to take 24 hours of CE, including 3
hours of Ethics, every 2-year license term. Licensees must renew on or before
the last day of the licensee’s birth month every 2 years. Licensees who are
born in an even year will renew on even years, those born in an odd year will
renew on odd years. No carry over credits are allowed and a course cannot be taken more than once in a reporting period. CE credits taken to complete
a previous license term deficiency will not count for the current license
cycle.
CATEGORY RESTRICTIONS
Students may take an approved course in any line of authority to obtain
their CE credits, but it is recommended that they take
courses pertaining to their license type.
SPECIAL TRAINING
• LONG TERM CARE PARTNERSHIP TRAINING – Before a Producer can sell or
solicit Long Term Care Insurance, they must complete a state approved course in 8 hours of initial Long-Term Care Training. Producers must then complete a 4-hour ongoing
training requirement every 2-year license term following the initial completion of the 8-hour training.
• ANNUITY SUITABILITY TRAINING – Maine licensed producers must complete a state approved 4-hour Annuity Best Interest course before selling or soliciting any annuity products.

NON-RESIDENT PRODUCERS
Non-resident producers are not required to take CE if they have completed CE in their home state and remain in good standing. If the home state does not have a CE requirement, non-resident producers must comply with Maine’s CE requirement.

• Producers who receive their licenses less than one year before their first
compliance date are exempt from CE requirements for their first license term.
• Individuals holding limited licenses (except limited annuities licensees)
• Non-residents who meet their home state’s requirement and maintain an active license in that state.
ADDITIONAL LICENSE RENEWAL INFORMATION
Producers can renew their license at SIRCON. A notice will be emailed (if no email is on file then mailed by the department) to the licensee with information regarding the renewal period. Licenses may not be renewed more than 60 days before the renewal date.
