Address Changes:
It is the licensee’s responsibility to notify the Licensing department within the appropriate time frame of any address changes. State-to-state moves will require the agent to transfer his or her Resident License to their new residential state in order to comply with State regulatory laws. Failure to do so can potentially result in state fines or lost licenses.
