✅ Does This Course Satisfy the New York Ethics Requirement?

Yes. This course is designed to satisfy the required 1-hour ethics and professionalism instruction requirement for New York insurance producers.

This course provides 1 CE credit hour toward the 15 total credits generally required for New York insurance license renewal or relicensing.

This course does not satisfy the full 15-hour requirement by itself. It also does not satisfy the separate Insurance Law, diversity/inclusion/elimination of bias, basic flood, or enhanced NFIP flood requirements. Those topics are available through our other New York insurance CE courses and packages listed below.

✅ New York Insurance Continuing Education Requirements

Most New York insurance producers must complete 15 credits of approved continuing education during each licensing period once the license has been in effect for more than two years.

For many licensees, the 15 credits must include:

• At least 1 hour of Insurance Law instruction
• At least 1 hour of ethics and professionalism instruction
• At least 1 hour of diversity, inclusion, and elimination of bias instruction
• At least 1 hour of flood insurance instruction, if licensed to sell one or more lines of property/casualty insurance
• At least 3 hours of enhanced flood insurance instruction, if selling flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program

Self-study and online courses require a passing grade on a final exam to receive CE credit.

New York resident licensees must take courses from a New York DFS-approved provider organization. Continuing education must be completed before the renewal or relicensing application is submitted.

✅ When Do New York Insurance Licensees Renew?

New York insurance licenses generally renew every two years. Expiration dates vary by licensee, so producers should check their license record to confirm the exact expiration date.

Individual and TBA producer licenses are generally eligible for renewal within 180 days of the expiration date.

Because continuing education must be completed before submitting the renewal application, it is best to complete your CE early instead of waiting until the final days before expiration.

✅ How to Renew Your New York Insurance License

Step 1: Confirm Your License Type and Expiration Date

Step 2: Confirm Your CE Requirements
