I've Forgotten. License Issue. Any Guesses?

[hlink20]

My buddy lives in NY, needs insurance. Comes here (TX) often on business. All our discussions will take place here, he'd probably even be able to get his exam done here, if necessary.

Do I need a NYS license to write the policy?

Also, somebody posted a link to a Nat'l licensing service, but the linky was dead. Does anyone know of similar services, not too expensive?

[FONT=&quot]There are certain coverage’s that can be sold this way. A good example is voluntary carriers. Many times these carriers require a wet signature versus an internet based enrollment. Some of these carrier’s will allow you write the policy for the state that they are physically located in when the application is taken. It is very important that if a carrier allows this that you do really write the plan while they are in your state. Some agents have attempted to mail applications out to friends and family and say that they were in the same state when the policy was written…This is not worth the risk as you could lose your license for this action. Good luck.[/FONT]

The carrier may have rules related to appointment but they are not calling the shots when it comes to licensing. If the carrier says you are good to go based on their rules but you are not licensed in the state where you and the client are then you are not good to go. You are deep doo doo if you write. My view anyway.
