What must a surplus lines licensee do to renew their license?

In Missouri, to renew a surplus lines license, a licensee is primarily required to pay the biennial renewal fee. This means that every two years, the licensee must ensure that the appropriate fee is submitted to maintain active status for their license. This process is standard practice for various types of professional licenses, ensuring that the state can keep track of active practitioners and maintain regulatory oversight.

While other options might seem relevant in different contexts (e.g., submitting a new application or attending training), they do not pertain to the specific requirements for renewal. The simplicity of just paying the fee makes it clear that the state prioritizes streamlined processes for practicing licensees who already meet the established qualifications. Thus, timely payment of this renewal fee is essential to continue operating legally in the surplus lines insurance sector.
