Step 1: Navigate to the PA License Inquiry Service

Access the Pennsylvania license lookup through the official PID website at insurance.pa.gov. From the main page, select "Consumers" then "Find Insurance Professional" to reach the License Inquiry Service. This tool searches the complete database of Pennsylvania-licensed insurance professionals.

Alternative access points include the Sircon Pennsylvania Producer Portal, which offers additional management features for licensed producers including license printing and CE transcript review.

Step 2: Select Your Search Criteria

The Pennsylvania system offers flexible search options to accommodate different information needs.

Search Type	Required Information	Results Returned

Business Entity	Agency name or license number	Agency license and affiliated producers
Insurance Company	Company name	Authorization status and contact information

Checking Complaint and Disciplinary History

Pennsylvania makes consumer complaints and disciplinary actions publicly accessible through its Consumer Complaint Comparison Tool. This transparency allows you to identify patterns of issues before working with an insurance professional. One minor complaint may not indicate a problem, but repeated issues deserve attention.

The PID investigates complaints and conducts audits to ensure all Pennsylvania-licensed insurance professionals and companies adhere to state statutes and regulations.

Printing Your Pennsylvania Insurance License

Pennsylvania no longer mails paper licenses. All licensees must print their license certificate online through the PA website at pa.gov/services/insurance. Your renewed license becomes available for printing within 24 hours after renewal processing completes. New applicants who apply online can access their license once the PID issues it.
