Who must be notified when a licensee's address has changed?

When a licensee's address has changed, it is essential to notify the Department of Insurance. This notification is important because the Department maintains official records for all licensed professionals in the state, and it is crucial that these records are kept up to date to ensure proper communication and compliance with state regulations. Failure to update this information could result in penalties, including administrative action against the licensee.

The requirement to notify the Department of Insurance ensures that the licensee can receive important regulatory communications, renewals, and other vital information related to their license. Keeping the Department informed protects the integrity of the licensing process and helps maintain an accurate public registry of licensees.

In contrast, notifying the licensee's client, beneficiaries, or the Chamber of Commerce is not mandated by law in the same manner. While communicating with clients is good practice and may be necessary in certain situations, it is not a legal requirement tied directly to the change of address for licensing purposes.
