Why C is correct
Under G.S. 58-33-26(l), a North Carolina producer license stays in force until it is suspended or revoked; there is no fixed expiration date. Compliance is maintained through continuing education and insurer appointments, and fees are nonrefundable, so a producer never faces a periodic renewal deadline for the license itself.
Why the other options are wrong
- A is wrong because a two-year renewal cycle is the pattern of most other states; North Carolina has no such fixed term, and the April 1 date relates to appointment renewal fees, not the license term.
- B is wrong because there is no annual license renewal in North Carolina; continuing education supports compliance but does not create a yearly license expiration.
- D is wrong because no five-year term exists in the statute; the license does not expire by its own terms at all.
Memory hook
NC producer licenses never expire on their own - they last until suspended or revoked.
