Maryland is reciprocal with all states for the major lines of authority (L/H/VUL/P/C). This means that non-resident producers are not required to complete the Maryland CE requirements as long as the producer has met the continuing education requirements for his or her home state. If the home state does not have a CE requirement, the producer must complete the CE requirements for Maryland.
For other lines such as Title and Public Adjuster, Maryland is NOT reciprocal with all states. Non-residents who hold these lines/licenses are required to completed Maryland CE.
Special Training/Education Requirements: Nonresidents who satisfy the training requirements of another state that are similar to Maryland's law will be deemed compliant for Maryland’s requirement.
No. Self-study final exams for Maryland Insurance CE do not require a monitor.
The license term is every 2 years ending on the last day of the producer's birth month. Please note that continuing education must be completed and posted to the licensee's transcript prior to the licensee’s expiration date. It is strongly recommended that CEs be comleted 30 days before expiration to allow ample time for the credits to be updated.
A course may not be taken for credit more than once within the same license term. If a course is repeated in two consecutive license terms, there must be at least 6 months between the course completion dates to receive credit.
Excess CE hours may not be carried forward to the next 2-year license term.
- If prior to October 1, 2008 a resident licensee has been consecutively licensed for 25 or more years their continuing education requirement is 8 hours
