If a producer moves from Norwalk, CT to New Haven, CT, what is required?

The requirement to notify the insurance department within 30 days of a move is crucial for maintaining compliance with state regulations governing insurance producers. In Connecticut, if a licensed insurance producer changes their principal place of business, they must inform the Department of Insurance to ensure their records are up to date and that they can continue to operate legally in their new location.

This notification allows the department to track licensed producers effectively and ensures that consumers have access to updated information regarding who is licensed to conduct insurance business in their area. Notifying the insurance department is part of maintaining transparency and regulatory compliance within the industry, which helps protect consumers and uphold professional standards.

While notifying clients of a move (the first option) is good practice for maintaining client relationships, it is not a legal requirement, and updating personal insurance policies does not directly relate to the licensing of a producer. Filing an application for a new license may not be necessary if the producer is simply moving within state lines and just needs to update their address with the department.
