It is a violation
to contract for services without current insurance and an active license. Whenever you obtain a new insurance policy or renew an existing policy, you must update your insurance information with our office by submitting your name, license number, and proof of insurance verification by email to InsuranceStaff@cib.ok.gov, mail, fax, or by using our contact form.
