What records must a licensed producer maintain?

Licensed producers are required to maintain complete records of transactions, which include detailed information about policies issued, endorsements, cancellations, and premiums collected. This comprehensive record-keeping is essential for various reasons: it provides transparency, ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, and protects both the producer and the clients they serve.

By having complete records, a producer can provide a clear audit trail demonstrating their activities and interactions with clients, which is vital in the insurance industry where accountability is key. Keeping only the names of the insurer or minimal details would not meet regulatory standards or serve the needs of clients effectively. Furthermore, solely maintaining records of policy details or financial records of the insurance company does not encompass the full spectrum of transactions that a producer is engaged in with clients, thus failing to uphold the full responsibility that comes with the role.
