MN Insurance BuddyFree Minnesota insurance checks

Check your agent

Search by name. We check the Minnesota Department of Commerce's published enforcement actions against insurance producers, agencies, and companies, 2000 to now, each result linking the Department's own order. Searches are anonymous and never stored, and this record is never for sale.

Checking an agent's license status and lines of authority

Commerce publishes no bulk roster of insurance producer licenses, so live status checks happen on the state's own lookup, which runs on a system called Sircon. We have a Minnesota Government Data Practices Act request drafted for the full producer dataset (license status, lines of authority, dates); when it arrives, status checks will happen right here. Until then, the state lookup takes about a minute:

  1. Open the state's producer search at sircon.com (Minnesota consumer inquiry), the lookup Commerce itself links from its license-lookup page.
  2. Enter the agent's last and first name (or their license number if it is on your paperwork) and search.
  3. Check three things: the license shows Active, the lines of authority include what they are selling you (property, casualty, and so on), and the expiration date has not passed.
  4. Then search the same name in the enforcement box above; a current license can still have an order history.
