If you fail to meet the continuing education requirement, you lose the AFIS
certification and the right to use it in connection with your name. Once you
lose the certification in this manner, you must complete the entire curriculum
again to regain it.
We will email you at the email address on record in the Learning Center in
the event you lose your certification because you failed to meet the experience
requirement. However, it is your responsibility to keep up with your CE status,
and failure to receive the email does not make it permissible to use the
certification after it expires. In other words, your license to use the AFIS
trademark expires 12 months after you earn the right to use the certification
unless you renew it by meeting the CE requirement during that time. Thereafter,
you must complete the continuing education requirement every 12 months.
IRMI also reserves the right to revoke the certification for anyone who:
-
Is convicted of a felony
-
Is convicted of any state or federal crime related to insurance
-
Has an insurance license revoked due to violation of a state insurance
code
-
Displays a pattern of unethical, illegal, or immoral behavior that
reflects negatively on the AFIS certification
In the event IRMI revokes your certification, IRMI will email notification
and send a registered letter to the email address and postal address on record
in the Learning Center. Your license to use the certification expires 3
business days after the registered letter is mailed, whether or not you receive
the letter. (It is your responsibility to maintain current contact information
in the AFIS
Learning Center.)
