Answer

12 months
Under standard state insurance laws, if a producer allows their license to lapse, they generally have up to 12 months from the due date of the renewal fee to reinstate the license without having to retake the written licensing examination. This usually requires paying a reinstatement penalty, which is often double the unpaid renewal fee, and completing any outstanding continuing education.
