AR| Arkansas Insurance Bulletin No. 5-2026 explains that all entities appointing Arkansas insurance producers must annually renew producer and agency appointments, with appointments remaining in effect until terminated but ending if a producer’s license lapses, even if later reinstated; it sets 2026 procedures requiring companies to review all appointed individuals and agencies, verify licenses and active appointments via State Based Systems and the NAIC Producer Database, and process all renewals and terminations exclusively through NIPR, with no new appointments accepted after May 22, 2026, terminations due by May 22, 2026, and renewals for all active appointments through May 28, 2026 to be completed in the May 29–July 1, 2026 window by electronic payment only, subject to statutory late penalties, while clarifying that military active-duty producers’ appointments remain in force and that this bulletin rescinds the 2025 appointment renewal bulletin and prior similar guidance.
