Ethics requirement
3 hrs ethics; 12 hrs classroom-equivalent
Issued by
Utah Insurance Department
Utah runs a 24-hour, two-year cycle with 3 hours of ethics, but adds two delivery rules that catch agents who shop on price alone: at least 12 of the 24 hours must be classroom or classroom-equivalent, and no more than 12 hours may come from courses provided by insurers. Stack a cart full of passive self-study and you can hit 24 hours and still fall short on the classroom half.
The Utah Insurance Department oversees producer licensing. Your renewal is tied to your license issuance month every two years, and the Department may run random audits by mail - so keeping proof of completion on file is not optional.
The base requirement: 24 hours, 3 of them ethics
The Utah Insurance Department requires resident producers to complete 24 hours of approved continuing education each renewal cycle, of which at least 3 hours must be ethics training; the remaining 21 hours may cover any line of insurance. All 24 hours must come from courses approved by the Department.
The delivery rules and your deadline
- At least 12 of the 24 hours must be completed as classroom or classroom-equivalent courses - passive self-study alone cannot cover the whole requirement.
- No more than 12 hours may come from courses provided by insurers.
- Your renewal is tied to your license issuance month, on a two-year cycle based on your year of issuance.
- The Department may conduct random audits by mail, and you must keep proof of completion on file.

Start tracking — freeThe multi-state angle
Utah's classroom-equivalent minimum and its issuance-month deadline are the kind of details that do not match a neighboring state's rules. A producer who buys an all-self-study bundle that works fine in one state can come up short on Utah's classroom half - and because Utah dates your cycle from issuance rather than your birthday, the deadline itself lands on a different schedule than a birth-month state. With licenses in several states, those mismatches are exactly where a clean renewal slips.
How CredTally keeps this on autopilot
- Track 24 hours with a dedicated 3-hour ethics bucket and a 12-hour classroom-equivalent bucket, so the delivery mix is never a surprise.
- Multi-state producers: every license gets its own card, deadline, and reminders, so Utah's issuance-month cycle never collides with a birth-month state's clock.
- Store every certificate with the course it proves, so Utah's mail audits 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.
