The licensee keeps the certificates of completion in his or her files and furnishes them to the insurance department upon request as part of a random audit.

Nonresidents

Exempt if licensee's home state requires substantially similar CE. Nonresident submits letter of certification (not more than 90 days old) with the renewal card and fees. If licensee's home state has no similar CE requirement, licensee must comply with Utah's CE requirement.
