Temporary licenses without examination are allowed under Section
1211b of the Michigan Insurance Code. In some cases, temporary licenses are
utilized to provide the survivor of a deceased or a mentally or physically disabled
producer with a license mechanism to receive continuing commission payments. It
is also issued to the designee of a licensed producer entering active service
in the armed forces of the United States of America. These types of licenses are
issued for a maximum of 180 days. If a license is needed beyond that time frame,
the person will need to obtain a permanent license. (See - What
steps are required to become licensed as a first-time resident producer?).
A cover letter stating the reasons for the request must accompany the application
materials.
