NV Division of Insurance
Nevada is the outlier in this group. Where almost every other state runs a two-year cycle, Nevada renews on a three-year (triennial) schedule and asks for 30 hours of continuing education, including 3 hours of ethics. The longer cycle is the single detail that catches producers off guard - it is easy to apply a two-year mental model and either over-schedule or, worse, lose track of where you are in a longer window.
The Nevada Division of Insurance oversees producer licensing. Your license expires on the first day of the month following your original license date, three years out - so a license issued in April expires May 1 three years later.
The base requirement: 30 hours over 3 years, 3 ethics
The Division requires individual producers to complete 30 hours of Nevada-approved continuing education during each triennial license term and prior to the license expiration date, at least 3 of which must be in ethics. Coursework should be approved for the lines of authority listed on your license. The ethics hours count within the 30, not on top of them.
The triennial cycle and its quirks
- Renewal is every three years, not two - your expiration is the first day of the month after your original license issuance date, three years later.
- No carryover: excess hours earned in one triennium cannot be carried into the next.
- No repeats: a course cannot be repeated for credit within the same 3-year license term.
- Some long-tenured producers and certain professional designation holders (such as CLU, CPCU, CIC, ChFC, or CFP) may qualify for full or partial CE exemptions - confirm your status with the Division.

A three-year window sounds like more breathing room, and it is - which is exactly why it backfires. Thirty hours feels far away for the first two years, so it gets deferred, and a triennial deadline does not line up with the two-year rhythm of almost every other license a multi-state producer holds. If Nevada is one of several states you track, its odd cycle length is the one your routine is least likely to account for.
How CredTally keeps this on autopilot
- Track 30 hours over the full three-year term with a dedicated 3-hour ethics bucket - the progress ring keeps a long cycle from feeling like an empty one.
- Multi-state producers: every license gets its own card, deadline, and reminders, so Nevada's triennial clock never gets confused with a two-year state next door.
- Store every certificate with the course it proves, so Division reviews and renewals 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.
