Every way to qualify

  1. Route 1 Apply as the vendor and name a person responsible for compliance

    No state exam for this license

    • A sworn application naming the employee or officer responsible for the vendor’s compliance, with the vendor’s home office location; and, where the vendor draws more than half its revenue from portable electronics insurance, the same information for every officer, director and holder of ten percent or more of any class of securities registered under federal securities law

    AS 21.27.150(a)(8) licenses the vendor and then, in subparagraph (C), excuses the vendor’s employees and authorized representatives from licensing altogether on three conditions, all of which have to hold: they are not compensated principally on how many customers they enroll, though incidental compensation is allowed; the insurer issuing the cover provides a training program covering the insurance offered and the disclosures required by AS 21.36.515; and the vendor keeps a register of every location in the state where it offers the cover and hands it to the director within 30 days of a request. So the training obligation here falls on the insurer rather than on the vendor, which is one step further out than the travel line in the same section, where it falls on the licensee. AS 21.27.060(d)(1) is what makes this license different from the other limited lines: it exempts an applicant for a limited license under AS 21.27.150(a)(1), (4), (5) or (8) from the examination entirely. Travel, motor vehicle rental agency, the nonresident limited producer and portable electronics are the four. Bail bond, title, credit, miscellaneous and crop are not on that list, so Alaska examines five of its nine limited lines and excuses four, which is the sharpest split of this kind on the site. The more-than-half-revenue disclosure threshold is the same one Rhode Island writes at 27-2.7-7(b)(1), word for word in substance, and it is what marks the vendor whose real business is the insurance rather than the device.

No national seller sells a course for this license. Nothing could: the license goes to the vendor, Alaska excuses it from the examination by name, and the statute puts the training on the insurer that issues the cover.
