Governing bodyDistrict of Columbia Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking (DISB)

Resident producers holding a major line of authority (Life, Accident/Health, Property and/or Casualty) must complete 24 CE credit hours in the two-year period before license expiration, including 3 hours of ethics (21 general + 3 ethics). Holding multiple major lines does not double the requirement. Excess general/ethics hours do not roll over. Third-party compliance sources report an additional one-time 3-hour NFIP flood insurance certification course for Property/Casualty (and personal lines) producers due during their first renewal compliance period, but this flood requirement was not confirmed on the DISB CE page itself. Separate, lower CE applies to Title producers (16 hrs non-attorney / 8 hrs attorney) and is not part of the standard producer requirement.
