How to check
- Open the department's licensing page of the Arkansas Insurance Department, and follow its link to the producer or licensee search.
- Search by the agent's name, or by their national producer number (NPN) or Arkansas license number if you have it. The NPN is the steadier search: names repeat, and a producer has one NPN in every state.
- Open the record and read the license type and its lines of authority, whether it is active, the expiration date, and the name on the record.
- Compare it with what the agent told you: the same name, the same NPN, and a line of authority that covers the kind of insurance you asked about.
What the record shows
A producer record in any state is built from the same parts, though each department decides how much of it to publish:
- The license type and its lines of authority, such as property, casualty, life or personal lines.
- Whether the license is active, and the dates it was issued and expires.
- The insurers the agent is appointed with, where the department publishes appointments.
- Disciplinary actions, where the department publishes them.
Other ways to check
- The Arkansas Insurance Department's search runs on NAIC State Based Systems lookup, which you can open directly.
- The National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) assigns the NPN. Ask the agent for theirs; any licensed producer has one.
- For an agent licensed in several states, check each state on its own department's search. The fifty-state list has every department.
