Applying for a Temporary Agent License
A temporary license may be issued to an individual who is a personal representative of a deceased or mentally disabled agent, or to a person designated by an agent who is otherwise disabled or has entered active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, in order to give time for more favorable sale of the goodwill of a business owned by the intermediary, for the recovery or return of the intermediary, or for the orderly training and licensing of new personnel for the intermediary's business. Refer to
s. 628.09, Wis. Stat.
for more information.
Temporary intermediary licenses are only valid for 12 months. Temporary intermediary licenses are NOT eligible for renewal.
