Pending OH DOI provider authorization

Enrollment, payment, certificates, completion reporting, and any Ohio prelicensing-credit claim remain closed until written ODI provider authorization and course-specific written approval are on file.

Audience

Ohio Personal Lines insurance license candidates

After OH DOI approval, this course is intended for Ohio resident producer candidates pursuing the Personal Lines line of authority — a narrower authority limited to personal homeowners, dwelling, personal auto, and personal umbrella products. Until written approval is posted, students who need credit must use a provider already authorized by ODI.

Certificates

No Ohio credit before written approval

Certificate templates and ODI Gateway-style export controls are staged, but official certificates, completion reporting, and any Ohio prelicensing-credit claim stay disabled until written ODI provider authorization and course-specific written approval are received and the course is intentionally opened. ORC 3905.01 et seq. prohibits acting as an Ohio insurance agent without an active ODI-issued license.

Planned course scope

20-hour Ohio DOI Personal Lines package — 5 sequential lessons covering ORC Chapters 3905, 3935, 3937.18 (UM/UIM with Marshall v. Allstate stacking), and 4509 financial responsibility

Delivery follows the OAC 3901-5-07(F) internet self-study structure: sequential lessons with forced progression, active seat-time tracking, identity verification, embedded knowledge checks, final-exam affidavit, and a randomized 75-question course final exam with 70% passing score. Coverage includes Ohio HO/DP forms, Lake Erie shoreline windstorm/flood considerations, federal NFIP overlay, Ohio Personal Auto Policy with ORC Chapter 4509 financial responsibility and SR-22-equivalent filings.

Free resources, guides, PDFs, videos, partial simulators, private coupons, expired promotions, bundles, and nonequivalent formats are not included.

The request must include a public verifiable competitor URL that a reviewer can open in an incognito window with no logged-in session, no affiliate code, no coupon code, and no private parameter. Screenshots without a URL, private links, login-gated pages, and bot-scraped prices are not accepted.

Free resources, free government courses, guides, PDFs, videos, forums, partial simulators, study materials, offers without a comparable certificate, offers without comparable reporting, and nonequivalent course formats are not equivalent paid offers for price matching.

The quoted price must be live and publicly available at the time National Course Portal's reviewer opens the URL. If the price changed, expired, or disappeared between submission and review, the request is closed without a match.

Aggregate per-student cap: no more than 2 price matches will be approved for the same student, account, email address, or payment method within any rolling 365-day window, summed across all courses.

Approved matches are valid for 48 hours from the approval notification. If the student does not complete checkout inside that window, the quote expires and a new request with a current verifiable public price is required.
