Do You Need an Agent's Licence to Accept Premium Payments in Pennsylvania

Taking Payments and Licensing


It may be strange to think about this question, but Pennsylvania is not alone in addressing this in their State Insurance Laws.

Pennsylvania addresses accepting premiums in several ways. Here is a link to one of the bulletins they have issued on this issue.



The important sections differentiate between in office premium payments and away from office premium payments.

Licensed producer activities:
4. Collecting premiums in person at other than a recorded place of business.

Nonlicensed clerical and CSR activities:
11. Receiving premiums at the recorded place of business where the payment is being made on a binder, endorsement or existing policy.
