Transfer or Surrender of License

Transfer of License

Pursuant to Florida Statutes 626.292, any individual licensed in good standing in another state may apply to the department to have the license transferred to this state to obtain a Florida resident agent license for the same lines of authority covered by the license in the other state. To qualify for a license based on the transfer of license option, an applicant must meet  the following requirements:

  • Become a resident of Florida.
  • Has held a valid license for one (1) year in his/her home state prior to applying for a license in Florida.
  • Submit the application for license and appropriate fees within 90 days of becoming a resident of Florida.
  • Provide an original letter of clearance.
  • Submit a set of fingerprints.
 

*Note: The transfer of license option does not apply towards adjusters, title agents, or bail bond agents. It also does not necessarily exempt you from the examination requirement.

To voluntarily surrender your license, please mail a letter requesting that you wish to surrender your license that includes the following:

  • name
  • signature
  • license ID number
  • and return address
  • enclose your license ID card or a statement indicating that you do not have a license ID card
