Why A is correct

Under N.Y. Ins. Law §§2101(d), (e), 2103(g)(5, 11), and 2136, a nonresident producer is licensed on the basis of a current home-state license. New York issues nonresident authority keyed to the producer's home-state licensure rather than requiring relocation or residence in New York.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B) Nonresident licensing exists precisely so producers living elsewhere may transact New York business without relocating.
  • C) Appointments are filed by insurers under N.Y. Ins. Law §2112(b) after a producer is licensed; appointment is not a precondition to licensure.
  • D) Under N.Y. Ins. Law §2136 and §2103(g)(5, 11), the statutory basis of a nonresident license is the current home-state license, not a New York examination.

Memory hook

A nonresident license rides on a current home-state license - no move, no New York exam.
