- a.The insurer must appoint the producer, and that appointment is filed with the Colorado Division of Insurance✓
- b.Nothing further — the license alone authorizes sales for any insurer

- d.The producer must post a personal surety bond with the state treasurer
A license lets a person act as a producer, but to represent a particular company that insurer must appoint the producer, with the appointment filed with the Colorado Division of Insurance. A producer may hold appointments from several insurers at once. This mirrors the NAIC producer-licensing model Colorado follows.
Which statement about continuing education (CE) for resident personal lines producers in Colorado is correct?

- b.Resident producers must complete state-approved CE each renewal cycle to keep the license active; confirm the exact hours and ethics requirement with the Colorado Division of Insurance✓
- c.CE is required once, in the first year, and never again
- d.CE is optional and only recommended for new producers
Like other states, Colorado requires resident producers to complete approved continuing education every renewal cycle, typically including an ethics component, before renewing. Because specific hour totals change, verify the current CE requirement directly with the Colorado Division of Insurance (https://doi.colorado.gov/).
