Why A is correct
Under G.S. 58-33-30(h)(2), a nonresident licensee must hold a like license in her home state; if the home-state license lapses, the North Carolina license automatically lapses 30 days later. The North Carolina license may be reinstated within 30 days of the lapse upon proof that the home-state license has been reinstated, and a producer who relocates must file a new home-state license and address change within 60 days.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) North Carolina nonresident licensure is expressly conditioned on maintaining a like license in the home state, so the two are not independent.
- C) The lapse is automatic after 30 days rather than immediate, and reinstatement remains available within 30 days upon proof of home-state reinstatement.
- D) There is no conversion mechanism; temporary licenses arise only in the specific situations described in the temporary-licensing statute.
Memory hook
Home state slips, NC follows 30 days later - and 30 days to fix it.
