Renewal cycle

Ethics requirement
3 hrs (within the total)
Issued by
GA Office of Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner
Georgia runs a standard 24-hour, two-year cycle with 3 hours of ethics baked in - but it rewards longevity. Once you have been licensed 20 years or more, your total drops to 20 hours, still including the 3 ethics hours.
The Georgia Office of Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner oversees producer licensing. The most useful thing to know if you carry more than one line: you do not double your hours.
The base requirement: 24 hours, 3 of them ethics
Producers licensed less than 20 years complete 24 hours of approved CE per two-year term, of which 3 must be ethics. The remaining 21 hours must be approved for the line(s) you are licensed to sell. Once you pass 20 years licensed, the total drops to 20 hours - 3 ethics plus 17 line-approved hours.
Multi-line and deadline specifics
- Hold more than one line of authority (say, P&C and Life/Health)? You still owe 24 hours total - you do not stack a separate 24 for each line.
- Three of those hours must always be ethics, regardless of how many lines you hold.
- Complete your CE before you renew - finishing courses after you file does not count for that term.
- Georgia allows excess hours to carry over, satisfying up to half of your next term's requirement.

Georgia lets surplus CE carry into the next renewal period, covering up to one-half of that cycle's requirement. It is a genuine head start - but only if you can prove what you took and when. For producers who also hold out-of-state licenses, that proof has to live somewhere central, because each state counts carryover differently and on its own schedule.
How CredTally keeps this on autopilot
- Track 24 hours with a dedicated 3-hour ethics bucket - the dashboard shows each separately and adjusts to 20 hours after 20 years licensed.
- Multi-state producers: every license gets its own card, deadline, and reminders, so Georgia's rules never blur into another state's.
- Store every certificate with the course it proves, so carryover claims and reviews are a download, not a hunt.
- Reminders at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days before each license's deadline, with your remaining hours front and center.
- Export a dated PDF packet - summary plus every certificate - for an audit or carrier review in one click.
Frequently asked questions
How many CE hours do Georgia insurance producers need?
Twenty-four hours every two years, including 3 hours of ethics, if you have been licensed less than 20 years. After 20 years it drops to 20 hours, still with 3 ethics hours.
Do I need double the hours if I hold multiple lines in Georgia?
No. Even with multiple lines of authority, your total stays at 24 hours - you do not double up.
Can I carry over extra CE hours in Georgia?
Yes - excess hours can carry into your next renewal period and satisfy up to half of that cycle's requirement.
When does Georgia insurance CE have to be done?
Before you submit your renewal. Courses completed after you file do not count toward that term.
