Add a Line of Authority (Individual and TBA only)

Available to currently licensed agents and brokers who wish to apply for additional line(s) of authority to their existing license.

Requirements

Resident - Pre-licensing course (unless exempt) and examination are required if applying for the following lines of authority:

Printing an Amended License

The Department does not mail paper licenses.

Use the Producer/Licensee Search application to determine if the line of authority was added to your record. If the line has been added, you can print the amended license.

To print an amended license, sign into NY LINX as instructed above.

Once the license is printed once, there is a statutory $15.00 duplicate license fee for any future print requests.
