Illinois Insurance CE FAQs
How many CE hours does Illinois require for insurance license renewal?
Illinois requires 24 hours of continuing education (CE) every 2 years to maintain an active insurance producer license. Of those 24 hours, 3 must specifically cover ethics and professional conduct — this is a mandatory component, not optional. All CE must be completed through a Illinois Department of Insurance-approved provider before your license renewal deadline. JustInsurance is an approved provider and offers a complete 24-hour CE package for $39, including the required ethics hours.
How much does Illinois insurance CE cost?
JustInsurance offers a complete Illinois CE package — covering all 24 required hours including the 3-hour ethics requirement — for $39. This is a flat-fee bundle with no per-course upsells or surprise charges. Individual CE courses are also available for agents who need only specific topics to round out their renewal hours. Every purchase includes immediate online access, self-paced completion, and automatic CE credit reporting to the Illinois Department of Insurance on your behalf.
Can I complete my Illinois insurance CE online?
Yes. Illinois approves online CE courses, and JustInsurance provides a full catalog of self-paced courses that meet all Illinois Department of Insurance requirements. You can study on any device, pause and resume whenever you need to, and complete your 24-hour requirement in a single sitting or spread across multiple sessions. Once you finish each course, JustInsurance reports your completion electronically to the Illinois Department of Insurance — you do not need to mail certificates or manually update your license record.
What happens if I don't complete my Illinois CE on time?
If you fail to complete your 24 CE hours and renew your license before your deadline, your Illinois insurance license will lapse. A lapsed license means you cannot legally sell, solicit, or negotiate insurance until it is reinstated. Reinstatement typically requires paying a late fee, submitting a reinstatement application to the Illinois Department of Insurance, and in some cases completing additional CE hours beyond the standard 24. A lapsed license can also interrupt your commission flow and harm your carrier appointments. JustInsurance makes it easy to finish your hours well before your deadline — the entire $39 package can be completed in a single day if needed.
Does Illinois require ethics CE hours?
Yes. Illinois mandates that 3 of your 24 required CE hours specifically cover ethics and professional conduct. This is not optional — you must satisfy the ethics component separately from general CE hours, and the Illinois Department of Insurance tracks it independently. Failing to complete the ethics hours is treated the same as failing to complete your total CE requirement. JustInsurance's $39 CE package includes a fully approved 3-hour ethics course, so your entire renewal requirement is covered in one purchase.
