New Licenses
The Department does not mail licenses. Once a license is issued you should save it locally and print it immediately.
- Property/casualty brokers: Note the following wording on your license: "An insurance broker with the property/casualty line is authorized to act as such with respect to any and every line of authority except life insurance and variable life and variable annuity insurance."
- Life Settlement Providers, and Life Settlement Intermediaries: Online license requests and duplicate license requests are not available.

If you have forgotten your DFS ID password use the ‘Forgot Password?’ link in DFS ID to generate a new one-time-use link. If you did not complete your registration, or no longer have access to an email account, visit DFS ID to learn how to get help.
Print a Duplicate License
A duplicate license may be issued if your license is lost or destroyed. Before the duplicate license is generated, you will have to attest that the original license was either lost or destroyed. There is a $15.00 fee for a duplicate license, payable by credit card.
To get started, sign into NY LINX as instructed above.
