Producer Licenses Inquiry

Warning

Results of the Producer Licenses Inquiry may contain unmasked, full Social Security Number information for individual producers. It is not possible to configure the system to mask or hide these values in the report results. However, using a security role setting, a user with administrator permissions may deny other users the permission to run this inquiry or view inquiry results requested by other users. For more information, see Maintain Security Role. Also, identities of users who access Social Security Number information in Producer Manager are recorded in Data Access Logs. For more information, contact your Vertafore Sircon representative.

Notes

Note: The Producer Licenses Inquiry reports license information only as recorded in your company's instance of Producer Manager. It does not verify license information directly with state records. However, if your company is using Producer Manager's automated data reconciliation utilities (such as Scheduled Syncs) to keep producer license data refreshed continually, the Producer Licenses Inquiry report results should be synchronized with state records.

Note: By default the maximum number of licenses included in report results is 5,000. If the number of licenses meeting the current report criteria exceeds the limit, the Submit Offline button is disabled. Revise your report criteria selections to generate the report. (The limit may be Vertafore-configured in your company's deployment of Producer Manager to allow a non-default maximum, using the MAX_PRODUCER_LICENSES_OFFLINE_REPORT_SIZE business rule. A non-default limit may incur additional charges. For more information, see Configuration Options or consult your Vertafore representative.)

Note: By default the maximum number of licenses included in online or "on-demand" report results is 500. If the number of licenses meeting the current report criteria exceeds the online limit, the View/Refresh Report button is disabled. If the number does not exceed the default or configured overall limit, you may generate the report offline by clicking the Submit Offline button. (The online limit may be Vertafore-configured in your company's deployment of Producer Manager to allow a non-default maximum, using the MAX_PRODUCER_LICENSES_ONLINE_REPORT_SIZE business rule. A non-default limit may incur additional charges. For more information, see Configuration Options or consult your Vertafore representative.)

Tips

Use the Show Historical checkbox as filter criteria to generate a list of producers in the system whose license information currently contains inactive or historical license types (classes) in a selected state. You then may perform an automated data reconciliation operation (such as Quick Sync Producer) on the listed producer records to update the license information with the state's currently supported license types.

If your company's configuration of the Sircon Platform includes the Producer Express Bulk Appointment Processing capability, with minimal data manipulation you may use the spreadsheet results of the Producer License Inquiry as the basis for a bulk appointments data file. For more information, see Sircon Producer Express Bulk Processing Module User Guide.
