The NIPR warehouse is an electronic database that all states use to receive, store, and share licensing documents submitted by insurance producers, enabling streamlined review by state regulators. If you are applying for a license for the first time, you will need to upload documentation for your resident license to the portal, and the licensing team will handle all non-resident state document uploads. You can access the warehouse here: https://nipr.com/licensing-center/attachments. If you already have an active license, any needed documentation should already be uploaded to the warehouse, and you only need to upload them to your AgentSync portal for the licensing team to use in any non-resident license applications.
Court-certified documentation is an official copy of original court records, authenticated or certified by a court clerk or other authorized official. These guarantee the copy is a true and accurate representation of the original. You can obtain this by reaching out to the court you were charged in to see what ways you can obtain these documents.
Continuing education (CEs) are learning courses that states require you to complete every two years to maintain compliance in your license. Each state has different requirements, so it is always best to reach out to your state to find what courses you are required to complete.
Continuing education varies by each state and your current license status. Your best route is to reach out to your state department of insurance to figure out what steps you need to take to complete your continuing education.

When you start training, the licensing team will apply for all non-resident states and request all needed carrier appointments on your behalf. States and carriers will not process these requests if your license is expired or has an upcoming expiration date. Selectquote requires that you maintain an active license within the first 60 days of training so as not to interfere with that application process.
States will provide either a license expiration date or an upcoming renewal date for your continuing education that will occur about every two years. It's important to note that Selectquote will require that you maintain compliance with your continuing education courses up to 60 days after your class starts. If you have a license that expires before class starts or in the 60 days after, you should contact your state to get directions for completing those. Your onboarding specialist will provide you with the dates that need to be completed in onboarding.
Selectquote requires that you maintain compliance with your resident license within the first 60 days of class starting. If your license is expiring anytime before that, then you will be required to complete your continuing education and make any renewals before you start class. If you're unsure of how to complete your continuing education, your resident state Department of Insurance will provide instructions for you.
To check the status of your license application, you can check the NIPR portal, or you can reach out to the state department of insurance. If you know your license status is active, you can access a copy of your license here: https://nipr.com/help/print-your-license.
This differs by each state, so it is best to reach out to your state department of insurance to find what steps and any fees may apply.
Any changes to your contact information should be made immediately while you're in onboarding with SelectQuote, as this can affect your eligibility for a position. Please reach out to your onboarding specialist to get guidance on any of these changes. Once you have done that, you make those changes through NIPR here, and it will be shared out to all state licenses you hold: https://nipr.com/licensing-center/change-contact-info

A resident license is the license you hold for the state you live in. This allows you to sell insurance in that state only, which is why you will need non-resident state licenses to be able to sell in other states as well.
For each state you plan to sell insurance in, you will need to obtain a state license in that state. At Selectquote, we handle all non-resident state license applications on behalf of our agents.
This will vary by state. Your onboarding specialist will inform you of any necessary instructions on how and when to get fingerprinted for your resident license.

The need for fingerprints for those states depends on your current license status and what state you live in. Your onboarding specialist will communicate the steps for this, should you need to complete them.
This will depend on each state and your situation. Your onboarding specialist will instruct you to apply for your resident license within enough time for it to get approved before your start date deadline.
