How to check an insurance agent's license
- Ask for the agent's full name and their license or National Producer Number.
- Pick your state and search the state insurance department's lookup.
- Check that the license is active and covers what is being sold, such as life, health or property.
- Confirm the insurance company is allowed to do business in your state as well.
Good to know
- Agents are licensed by each state where they sell, so check the state where you live.
- Be wary of pressure to pay in cash, or to pay the agent personally instead of the insurer.
- Ask for your policy documents in writing, and contact the insurer directly if they never arrive.
Rules vary by state, so confirm the details with the agency.
