In Georgia, a temporary producer license is initially issued for how long, and what is the maximum total period it may remain in force?

Why A is correct

Under O.C.G.A. § 33-23-13, a temporary license in Georgia is issued for six months and may be renewed, but its total duration may not exceed fifteen months. The temporary credential is designed to bridge a transition — such as an agent's death or disability — without becoming a permanent substitute for regular licensure.

Why the other options are wrong

• B) The maximum total period is fifteen months, not twelve.
• C) A temporary license runs six months at a time, not three years, and renewals are permitted within the overall cap.
• D) One year is not the initial temporary-license period, and the credential cannot be renewed indefinitely.

Memory hook

Six months a stint, fifteen months in total.

Why C is correct

Under O.C.G.A. § 33-23-13, a temporary license is issued for six months and may be renewed, but the total duration may not exceed fifteen months. It is used in circumstances such as an agent's death, disability, or termination, or at an insurer's request, and it does not transfer or convert into a regular resident license.

Why the other options are wrong

• A) The initial term is six months, not three.
• B) The maximum total duration is fifteen months, not twelve.
• D) The initial term is six months, not twelve.

Memory hook

Six to start, fifteen at most — and it never becomes a regular license.
