26-9-208. Nonresident licensing.

(a) Unless denied licensure pursuant to W.S. 26-9-211, a nonresident person shall receive a nonresident producer license if:

(i) The person is currently licensed as a resident and is in good standing in his home state;

(ii) The person has submitted the proper request for licensure and has paid the fees required by W.S. 26-4-101(a);

(iii) The person has submitted or transmitted to the commissioner the application for licensure the person submitted to his home state, or in lieu of the same, a completed uniform application; and

(iv) The person's home state awards nonresident producer licenses to residents of this state on the same basis.

(b) The commissioner may verify the producer's licensing status through the producer database maintained by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, its affiliates or subsidiaries.

(c) A nonresident producer who moves from one (1) state to another or a resident producer who moves from this state to another state shall file a change of address and provide certification from the new resident state within thirty (30) days of the change of legal residence. No fee or license application is required.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, a person licensed as a surplus lines producer in his home state shall receive a nonresident surplus lines producer license pursuant to subsection (a) of this section. Except as to subsection (a) of this section, nothing in this section otherwise amends or supercedes any provision of chapter 11 of this code.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, a person licensed as a limited line credit insurance or other type of limited lines producer in his home state shall receive a nonresident limited lines producer license, pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, granting the same scope of authority as granted under the license issued by the producer's home state. For the purposes of this subsection, limited line insurance is any authority granted by the home state which restricts the authority of the license to less than the total authority prescribed in the associated major lines pursuant to W.S. 26-9-207(a)(i) through (vi).
