2021 Colorado Code|Title 10 - Insurance|Article 2 - Licenses|Part 5 - Nonresident Licenses|§ 10-2-502. Nonresident Licensing - Qualification

  The commissioner may qualify an applicant as a nonresident, unless the applicant is denied licensure pursuant to section 10-2-801, and shall issue an insurance producer license to any qualified nonresident person in accordance with the following:   The person maintains a license in good standing in the person's home state;    An insurance agency or business entity may qualify as a nonresident if the agency or business entity has its principal office located in another state;    The nonresident person holds a similar license that is awarded on the same basis in the nonresident's home state and for the same line or lines of authority applied for in this state;    The person has submitted the proper request for licensure and has paid the fees set forth by regulation;    The nonresident person has filed with the commissioner a current certification of license status for the purposes set forth in section 10-2-501;    The person has submitted or transmitted to the insurance commissioner the application for licensure that the person submitted to his or her home state, or in lieu of the application, a completed uniform application.       The commissioner may verify the producer's licensing status through the producer database maintained by the national association of insurance commissioners or its affiliates or subsidiaries.    A license issued to a nonresident person shall confer the same rights and privileges as those afforded a resident licensee. (3.5) A nonresident producer who moves from one state to another state or a resident 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 days after the change of legal residence. No fee or license application is required.    If the insurance department of the nonresident insurance producer's resident state suspends, terminates, or revokes the producer's insurance license in that state, the nonresident insurance producer shall notify the commissioner and shall return the Colorado nonresident license pursuant to section 10-2-804.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, a person licensed as a surplus lines producer in the surplus lines producer's home state shall receive a nonresident surplus lines producer license pursuant to subsection (1) of this section; except that nothing in this section otherwise amends or supercedes any provision of this part 5.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, a person licensed as a limited lines credit insurance or other type of limited line producer in the limited line producer's home state shall receive a nonresident limited line producer license, pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, granting the same scope of authority granted under the license issued by the producer's home state. For the purposes of this subsection (6), limited lines insurance is any authority granted by the home state which restricts the authority of the license to less than the total authority prescribed in the associated major lines pursuant to section 10-2-407.
