apply to license continuation under section 26.1-26-13.4 or individuals who apply for
an insurance producer license within twelve months following the cancellation or
expiration of a valid resident insurance producer license issued by the North Dakota
insurance department, unless the license was suspended or revoked.
3. The commissioner may make arrangements, including contracting with an outside
service, for the collection and transmission of fingerprints for conducting criminal
history record checks.
4. A business entity acting as an insurance producer must obtain an insurance producer
license. Application must be made using the uniform business entity application.
Before approving the application, the commissioner must find that:

producer responsible for the business entity's compliance with the insurance
laws, rules, and regulations of this state; and
c. The individual designated as the licensed principal insurance producer of the
business entity has taken the examination required by section 26.1-26-13.2. The
business entity may only be licensed for those lines of insurance for which one or
more of its principal insurance producers is licensed. The business entity shall

inform the commissioner within ten working days of any change in the status of its
principal insurance producer or producers.
d. The commissioner may require any documents reasonably necessary to verify
the information contained in an application.
