Answer

He must notify the Department of Insurance of his new address within 30 days.
Standard state insurance regulations require producers to formally notify the Department of Insurance of any change of residential, business, or email address within a specific statutory window, which is almost universally 30 days. This rule exists to ensure that the regulatory authority can always reliably communicate with the licensee regarding administrative updates, disciplinary matters, or consumer complaints.

The producer has changed his residential address.
Recognizing the event determines which specific state regulation applies to the licensee.
