Rhode Island General Laws Title 27. Insurance § 27-2.4-10. Nonresident licensing

(a) Unless denied licensure pursuant to § 27-2.4-14, a nonresident person shall receive a nonresident insurance producer license if:

(b) The insurance commissioner may verify the insurance producer's licensing status through the producer database maintained by the NAIC, its affiliates or subsidiaries.

(c) A nonresident insurance producer who moves from one state to another state or a resident insurance producer who moves from this state to another state shall file a change of address and provide certification from the new resident state within thirty (30) days of the change of legal residence. No fee or license application is required.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, a person licensed as a surplus lines broker in his or her home state shall receive a nonresident surplus lines broker license pursuant to subsection (a) of this section. Except as provided in subsection (a) of this section, nothing in this section amends or supersedes any provision of chapter 3 of this title.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, a person licensed as a limited line credit insurance or other type of limited lines insurance producer in his or her home state shall receive a nonresident limited lines insurance producer license, pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, granting the same scope of authority as granted under the license issued by the insurance producer's home state. For purposes of this section, “limited line insurance” is any authority granted by the home state which restricts the authority of the insurance producer to less than the total authority prescribed in associated major lines pursuant to § 27-2.4-9(a)(1) -- (a)(8).
