What is the maximum total period for which a temporary license can be extended in Georgia?

In Georgia, the maximum total period for which a temporary license can be extended is 15 months. This temporary license is designed to assist individuals who are in the process of obtaining their permanent license while still being able to engage in the practices of a licensed agent. The regulations allow for an initial issuance of a temporary license for a limited duration, typically for a set timeframe, which can be extended under certain conditions.

The law is structured this way to facilitate the transition for new agents while ensuring that they are not left unable to work for an extended period. This temporary status encourages individuals to complete necessary requirements for their permanent licenses promptly, ensuring that they are knowledgeable and compliant with state insurance laws. A timeframe of 15 months strikes a balance between allowing sufficient time for completion of licensing requirements while maintaining the integrity of the licensing process.
