All agents must complete the mandatory training prior to approval of their appointment application. Once you submit your application, you will be sent an email with instructions for accessing the training.

Agency and Agent Appointment Agreements

As the agency principal, you are required to sign an Agency Agreement with Citizens. All appointed agents are required to sign an Agent Appointment Agreement. If you also will be an appointed agent, you also must sign an Agent Appointment Agreement. You and your appointed agents will receive instructions via email for signing the agreements via DocuSign.

A $125.00 appointment fee per agent is due prior to approval of your appointment application. Once your application has been reviewed, all training has been completed and all agreements have been signed, Citizens will provide you with a link to pay your appointment fee via major credit card.
