What does the New Jersey limited-lines authority include?

If a producer has filed for a personal bankruptcy, will this affect the renewal of the producer’s license?
Pennsylvania nonresident licensing
I’m a New Jersey producer and have a Pennsylvania nonresident individual producer’s license. I’d like to open an office in Pennsylvania. What do I have to do?
Licensee moving to New Jersey
I’m a New York-resident producer who also holds a nonresident producer license in New Jersey. I’m going to move to New Jersey and wish to obtain a resident producer license. Will I have to start from scratch with education or is there some sort of reciprocity?
Pre-licensing—attorney exemption
We are a New Jersey property/casualty agency and are looking to hire someone who has a law license. Because of her education, she is exempt from the pre-licensing requirements, right?
Potential licensee—DWI conviction
We are looking to hire someone, send them to licensing school and, eventually, have them work for us as a producer. However, this prospective producer was previously convicted of a Driving While Intoxicated, and we are concerned that we would find that he is barred from licensure after spending the requisite time and money getting him trained. Is this a problem?
License suspended or revoked
When a New Jersey licensee has his or her license revoked or suspended, obviously he or she cannot engage in any work that requires licensure. However, may such a person work in an agency doing tasks that do not require licensure? May they work as an independent contractor or consultant offering guidance to an agency?
Branch offices
I am opening a satellite office with a small 10x10 office space with one employee. Is this considered a branch office and do I need to notify the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance?
Background checks
We have a company asking us to sign an authorization to do a criminal background check. The company says it is required by law to do them. Further, they said all companies are supposed to do these checks. To what law are they referring?
Florida licensing requirements
I plan on moving to Florida but would like to stay active selling insurance. What do I need to do to become licensed there?
National Insurance Producer Registry—license renewal
I’m an agency owner and listed as the responsible producer for my agency, and hold a valid property/casualty license. Why won’t the National Insurance Producer Registry website let me renew the agency license?
Licensing for Canada
What steps must I take to become licensed to sell insurance in Canada?
Nonresident licensing—Hawaii
I work for an agency that operates under a business-entity license. I have the opportunity to handle an account in Hawaii, and need to know if I can do so under an individual nonresident license, or if the agency needs to obtain nonresident licensure.
Citizenship requirements for licensing
Can a non-citizen be an insurance agent?
