Licensing requirements for South Carolina insurance professionals and companies.
This page provides an overview of insurance licensing in South Carolina for individuals and companies. You will find state requirements, application fees, filing instructions, and more. For assistance with licensing, please contact us to learn about our software and managed license services.
Companies that provide insurance producer services in South Carolina must apply for a license prior to doing
business. Depending on the lines of authority offered by the entity and the types of services offered, multiple
firm licenses may be required.
Before applying, firms should ensure that the licensed individual to be appointed agent in charge has the
necessary licenses. Firms should also gather proof of incorporation, or foreign qualification for out-of-state
firms, in anticipation of application requirements.
Insurance companies, administrators of insurance benefit plans, and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) licensed and regulated by the South Carolina Department of Insurance are exempt from the certification requirements for private review agents. Private review agents performing utilization reviews only for single-employer, self-insured employee health plans are also exempt from the certification requirements.
