NE Department of Insurance
Nebraska keeps the structure clean: 24 hours of continuing education every two-year license term, including 3 hours of ethics. There is no carryover and no repeating courses, so the math is exactly what it looks like - which is good, as long as you actually finish in time.
The Nebraska Department of Insurance administers licensing here. Your license expires on the last day of your birth month, and whether you renew in an odd or even year depends on your birth year.
The base requirement: 24 hours, 3 of them ethics
The Department requires resident producers and adjusters to complete a minimum of 24 credit hours of Nebraska-approved continuing education each biennial license term, at least 3 of which must be ethics. No licensee is required to complete more than 24 cumulative hours in any two-year period. If you take more than 3 ethics hours, the surplus applies toward your general hours.
Deadlines, reporting lag, and repeats
- Your license expires on the last day of your birth month, every two years.
- Producers born in an even-numbered year complete CE in even years; those born in an odd year complete it in odd years.
- No carryover: extra credits do not roll into the next renewal period.
- No repeats: you cannot take the same course for credit twice within a two-year term, and providers have 10 days after a course to upload your credit - so finish early.

Start tracking — freeThe multi-state angle
Nebraska's 24/3 structure with no carryover means there is no cushion if you misjudge a deadline - and that is precisely the risk when you hold licenses across several states with different totals and grace rules. The provider reporting lag adds a few days you do not control, so a producer who waits until the birth-month deadline in one state can technically finish on time yet still show noncompliant. Each license needs its own buffer and its own tracking.
How CredTally keeps this on autopilot
- Track 24 hours with a dedicated 3-hour ethics bucket - the dashboard shows each separately so a short ethics count is impossible to miss.
- Multi-state producers: every license gets its own card, deadline, and reminders, so Nebraska's birth-month cycle never collides with another state's clock.
- Store every certificate with the course it proves, so Department reviews and renewals are a download, not a hunt.
- Reminders at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days before each license's deadline - early enough to beat the provider reporting lag.
- 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 Nebraska insurance producers need?
A minimum of 24 credit hours of approved continuing education every two-year license term, at least 3 of which must be ethics.
Do ethics hours count toward the 24 in Nebraska?
Yes - the 3 required ethics hours are part of the 24 total. If you complete more than 3, the extra hours apply toward your general requirement.
Can I carry over extra CE hours in Nebraska?
No. Nebraska does not allow carryover, and you cannot repeat the same course for credit within a two-year renewal period.
When is Nebraska insurance CE due?
By the last day of your birth month, every two years. Because providers have 10 days to upload your credits, finishing well ahead of the deadline is the safe pattern.
