The Colorado Title license

Section 10-2-407(1)(i), C.R.S. makes Title a line of authority on the producer license, and section 10-11-116(1)(a) says title insurance agents are licensed in the manner provided for insurance producers. Pearson VUE examines it as Title, exam code 83, in an hour and a quarter, and its Colorado half is the larger one: thirty-five general questions on commitments, policies, real estate ownership, liens, legal descriptions and conveyances, against forty on Colorado law and Regulations 8-1-1 to 8-1-5. It is not the most Colorado-specific paper the state gives, which is Surplus Lines, all thirty-five questions of it. Colorado requires no prelicensing course for this line. Section 10-2-201(1)(a), C.R.S. reaches only an applicant for "life, sickness and accident, or property and casualty lines", Regulation 1-2-5 section 7 sizes its fifty hours for "one of the five major lines of authority: life, accident & health or sickness, property, casualty, or personal lines", and the candidate handbook prints the same five under the heading "PRE-LICENSE TRAINING IS REQUIRED FOR THE FOLLOWING COLORADO LINES OF AUTHORITY". Two things are owed instead. Section 10-11-116(2) refuses a license to any individual, partnership or corporation contractually authorized to issue or countersign binders or policies unless it holds paid-in cash capital, or an individual holds a net worth, of at least ten thousand dollars; section 10-11-116(3) lets an agent with a title plant satisfy that with a certified public accountant's affidavit about the plant's value instead. And section 10-2-401(6) requires every title entity to disclose the names of all affiliated business arrangements it is party to, which the Division collects on its own form under Bulletin 1.22 at the time of application, on renewal, and within thirty days of any change.

Section 10-11-116(1)(c), C.R.S. issues the license to an attorney-at-law licensed to practice in Colorado once a title insurance company notifies the commissioner in writing of the name and address of each attorney it wishes to appoint as its agent and the fees are paid. The candidate handbook is the half that matters to an applicant: a licensed Colorado attorney applying for Title is exempt from the Title examination, selects the Title line on the ordinary application, and submits a copy of their Colorado Attorney Bar Card. The paid-in capital test in 10-11-116(2) expressly does not reach an attorney qualified under (1)(c).

Section 10-2-403(1)(a), C.R.S. exempts an applicant previously licensed for the same lines of authority "in this state or another state" from both prelicensing education and the examination. The currently-licensed, twelve-month and good-standing conditions that follow are introduced with "This exemption is only available to a nonresident applicant if", so they bind a nonresident and the statute puts no clock on a resident. Pearson VUE states the same waiver more narrowly in the candidate handbook, at ninety days rather than twelve months, and asks for a Letter of Clearance from the previous resident state where the National Producer Database cannot verify the license.

Section 10-2-403(1)(b.5), C.R.S. Neither prelicensing education nor an examination for a line already held, and the ninety days run from establishing residence rather than from the application. The subsection reserves the commissioner's power to say otherwise by regulation.
