How can a licensee surrender their license for cancellation?

A licensee can surrender their license for cancellation by submitting a written notice to the commissioner. This procedure is typically required by state regulations and ensures that the formal process is documented and acknowledged by the regulatory authority overseeing insurance practices. The written notice serves as an official request for cancellation, which the commissioner processes according to statutory requirements.

This approach ensures that the regulatory body is fully aware of the intention to cease operations under the license, allowing for any necessary administrative follow-ups or record-keeping. It also protects the licensee by providing a documented request for cancellation, preventing any potential misunderstandings regarding their licensing status.

Other methods, such as posting a statement on a website, calling the Department of Insurance, or notifying all contracted insurers, do not fulfill the legal and procedural requirements set forth for license cancellation. These actions lack the formal recognition and validation needed in regulatory contexts.
