635.051 Licensing and appointment of mortgage guaranty insurance agents.
(1) Effective October 1, 2012, a person may not transact mortgage guaranty insurance unless licensed and appointed as a credit insurance agent in accordance with the applicable provisions of the insurance code. Mortgage guaranty licenses held by persons on October 1, 2012, shall be transferred to a credit insurance agent license. Persons who wish to obtain a new license identification card that reflects this change must submit the $5 fee as prescribed in s. 624.501(15).

The department shall deposit such license and appointment taxes and fees in the same manner as provided in s. 624.523 for the deposit of license and appointment taxes and fees by general lines agents.
