As a NIPR customer you can use the CARR to create a listing of your active appointments for a specific company in a specific state. The CARR has the functionality of completing “Not for Cause” terminations directly from the report allowing you to reconcile your company’s insurance producer listing against the Producer Database. Terminations are generated electronically through the NIPR Gateway Connecticut State Appointment Renewal Fees.
