Missouri Insurance Continuing Education Requirements
A Complete Guide for 2025
Missouri insurance professionals must complete continuing education (CE) every three years to maintain an active license. NobleCE offers mobile-friendly courses, bundle pricing, and instant reporting to help you complete your CE fast and confidently stay compliant.
What Is Insurance Continuing Education?
Continuing education includes state-approved courses designed to keep producers and adjusters updated on ethics, legal changes, product developments, and Missouri-specific regulations. CE ensures professional knowledge and consumer protection and is required for license renewal.
Who Needs to Complete CE in Missouri?
Resident producers and adjusters must complete CE every three years. Public adjusters and crop producers have separate hour requirements. Non-resident licensees are exempt if they comply with their home state's CE rules.

- CE cycle is every three years
- Includes 3 hours of ethics
- Includes 1 hour of flood training (required only for P/C and personal lines)
- Includes 2 hours focused on state law and regulation
- Exams are closed-book and self-study; no proctor required, but exams must be final and closed-book

Special Requirements for Certain Licensees
Missouri mandates the following specialty training:
- Annuity Training: One-time 4-hour annuity suitability and best-interest course required before selling annuities
- Long-Term Care (LTC): 8-hour initial partnership LTC course, followed by a 4-hour refresher every cycle
- Flood Insurance: 1-hour flood training for producers licensed in P/C and personal lines, repeated every cycle
Specialty hours count toward the total CE hours when completed within the renewal period.
When Is the CE Deadline in Missouri?
CE must be completed by the last day of your birth month, every three years. Providers usually report completions within a few business days, so plan to finish early.

CE Exemptions and Extensions
Exemptions apply to non-residents compliant with their home state, licensed military personnel, and those granted hardship waivers prior to expiration. Crop-only producers have separate, reduced hour requirements and may be exempt from standard CE cycles.
How to Check Your CE Transcript
