Ohio Department of Insurance Licensing Renewal Notifications Change

According to the Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI), starting January 1, 2021, the ODI will begin sending license renewal notifications by email instead of U.S. Mail. Renewal notification emails will be sent approximately 90 days, 60 days, and 30 days prior to an agent’s license expiration date to email addresses on file with the department. This is a departure from the previous notification schedule, which included a 90-day licensure renewal notification by U.S. Mail and a 30-day electronic licensure renewal notification.

Additionally, legislation recently passed that provides a temporary extension of license expiration dates until July 1, 2021, for any license-holder who has a license expiration date that falls between March 9, 2020, through April 1, 2021.
