All Lines: College Degrees in Insurance

To become licensed as an agency, a licensee must submit a complete GID-130 form for a Resident Georgia Agency or the Uniform Application for Nonresident Business Entity. This must include the appropriate fee to the Georgia Insurance Department and any required supporting documentation. Applicants may apply online at www.sircon.com/georgia.
