Who issues agents' licenses to represent a nationwide business conducting business in Colorado?

• A. The Secretary of State
• B. The Governor of Colorado
• C. The Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Colorado
• D. The Colorado Bar Association

Answer: (C)

Licensing of insurance agents is handled by the state's Insurance Commissioner. In Colorado, the Commissioner oversees the licensing of individuals who represent insurers and conduct insurance business within the state, so a nationwide business operating there would obtain agent licenses from the Colorado Commissioner of Insurance. The Secretary of State handles business registrations and filings, not insurance licenses; the Governor does not issue professional licenses for agents; and the Colorado Bar Association is a professional association for lawyers, not a licensing authority for insurance agents.
