Looks like a national database for insurance companies, to keep tabs on agents appointments? Not sure, but had to get a number.

The following is information from the website you posted. I'm not sure what they are talking about. I have been selling insurance for about 14 years and have not heard of this, nor do I have a "number".
It looks as though they want $75.00 plus $1.34 per report. Not sure what it is for or why you were told you "need one". Maybe it is needed it to sell "free life insurance". LOL

There is a $75.00 annual fee (per password) to be an NIPR customer. A PDB detail report costs $1.34. These fees will be billed to you on your first monthly invoice.

address(es) - License information, such as states licensed, license numbers, authorized lines and license status

If I have one why don't I know what it is? When would I have used it and for what purpose?
I have a Mo license number, is that the same thing? This sure is a new one on me and I've been doing this for about 14 years. I'm probably going to get thrown in jail or worse for not knowing it. I may even be forced to pay $10.00 to sell "free life insurance
All agents have a national producer number, whether you know it or not. You did not apply, it came with the free t-shirt (what, you didn't get that either???)
You can check your own npn at:

No fees, just some personal information (you can search by your license number).
I've been asked for this several times when I've applied to be appointed with a company.
I think fees are involved for companies who want to receive the reports.

Kansas's DOI web site has an agent side where you can look up CE info, do a change of address, etc.
To get into that, all I had to do was call the DOI and they gave it to me over the phone.

Thanks, djs. I looked up my National Producer Number on that site. I didn't even know I had one. It is a different number from my PA DOI License Number.
P.S. Have never had to use the NPN.
