What Is Licensing Professionals and What Services Does It Provide?

Updated

Licensing Professionals is a licensing and compliance services firm for the insurance industry, with more than 25 years of experience. According to its About Us page, it works with individuals and organizations ranging from Producers and Adjusters to Managing General Agents and Risk Purchasing Groups. If you need help obtaining, maintaining, or changing an insurance license — or keeping up with surplus line tax filings — this is the type of firm you would contact.

Who it serves

The site describes its client range as spanning nearly every level of the insurance distribution chain:

  • Producers
  • Adjusters
  • Agencies
  • Managing General Agents (MGAs)
  • Risk Purchasing Groups

The stated positioning is that no project is too big or too small, and that services are customized to the client's needs.

Core licensing services

The company's primary work is licensing and compliance for insurance agents and agencies. Based on the page, this includes:

Initial licensing and renewals

Handling the paperwork and process for getting a license issued and keeping it active through renewal cycles.

Foreign qualifications

Obtaining qualifications in other states (referred to on the page as "foreign qualifications") — useful when a producer or agency needs to operate outside its home state.

Demographic changes

Assisting with updates to the information on a license, such as changes to name or other identifying details.

Agency affiliations and terminations

Submitting affiliation or termination filings so that a producer's relationship with an agency is properly reflected.

Company appointments

Coordinating appointments between producers and the insurance companies they represent.

Surplus line tax filings

Beyond licensing, Licensing Professionals offers assistance with Surplus Line Tax Filings. The page frames this as helpful in two situations:

  • You are managing a large volume of policy filings and need the workload absorbed.
  • You need help meeting recurring tax report deadlines, which the page describes as monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual.

The page does not list pricing, turnaround times, or a self-service portal, so those details would need to be confirmed directly with the company. What it does state clearly is the scope of experience (25+ years) and a willingness to customize services, which makes it most relevant if you want an outside party to handle licensing administration rather than doing it in-house.
