AGENCY OR BUSINESS ENTITY AFFILIATIONS

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
If you answer “Yes” to one or more of these questions, include:
a. A signed statement describing in detail all incidents including
names of all parties involved,
dates and locations,
the names and localities of any courts and/or administrative agencies involved,
the disposition of each matter,
whether the conviction, plea or finding was for a felony or open-ended charge;
AND
b. Copies of any and all indictments, complaints, plea agreements, orders of conviction, notices of hearing or trial,
sentencing orders, suspension/revocation orders and any other information which relates to each matter. If copies
are not available, you must provide as a part of this application a letter from the clerk of the pertinent court or the
official involved stating the records are not available and the reason.
IMPORTANT!
The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 prohibits any person convicted of any criminal felony
involving dishonesty, breach of trust or a violation of the Act from engaging in the business of insurance without the
specific written consent of the appropriate state insurance regulatory official. 18 U.S.C. § 1033. A person who does not
obtain the specific written consent may be subject to federal criminal prosecution. There is no automatic waiver for an
individual who may already possess a license. Further, the Act prohibits any person or entity from willfully permitting a
prohibited person, as described above, from engaging in the business of insurance and the Act subjects such a person
or entity to criminal sanctions.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Continuing education (“CE”) requirements applicable to Arizona-resident insurance producers have changed. For more
information, please visit the department’s website online at (https://
https://difi.az.gov/producers/producer-
agentbroker.az.gov/ice).
Non-residents are not required to complete CE if the non-resident fulfills resident state CE requirements.
An Arizona resident who holds a major-line insurance producer license may be required to complete insurance
continuing education.
A person that does not hold a major-line insurance producer license (such as a credit insurance producer, an
insurance adjuster, a bail bond agent, etc.) does not have an insurance continuing education requirement.
If you are required to complete insurance CE, do not wait until the end of your license term to try to fulfill CE
requirements. Not only must you register for and complete the CE, but the CE provider must issue to you a
Certificate of Completion and must report your course completion to Prometric. This can take time, which could result
