Automate NIPR with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• Licenses up for renewal in the next 90 days

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 7:00

  Step 1

  Run a batch producer report for the NPNs on your producer list.

  Step 2

  Keep the licenses whose expiration date falls in the next 90 days.

  Step 3

  Email you the list, one line per license with producer, state, class and expiration date.

• New regulatory actions and appointment changes

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00

  Step 1

  For each NPN on your producer list, get the PDB detail report.

  Step 2

  Keep licenses, appointments and RIRS actions that are new or changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post each change, with NPN, state and what changed, to your compliance system's webhook.

• Renewal applications prepared for review

  Build this

  Starts

  When your system calls the webhook with an NPN, date of birth, SSN last four and a state

  Step 1

  Get the PDB detail report and stop if the license in that state is not active.

  Step 2

  Start the renewal application in LicenseHub and leave it under Incomplete orders.

  Step 3

  Email you the license classes, lines of authority and fee summary to check and pay.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get a producer's PDB detail report” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "pdb.nipr.com/get_pdb_detail_report",
    "input": {
      "npn": "19283746"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "name": "Acme Insurance Agency LLC",
    "npn": "19283746",
    "resident_state": "MO",
    "licenses": [

        "lines_of_authority": "Life, Accident & Health",
        "status": "Active",
        "expiration_date": "2027-02-28"
      }
    ],
    "appointments": [
      {
        "state": "MO",
        "company": "Northwind Life Insurance Company",
        "status": "Active"
      }
    ],
    "regulatory_actions": []
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

NIPR’s own options

NIPR sells Producer Database access as subscriber services: batch producer reports, delivered as PDF or XML, and alerts on appointments, terminations, addresses, licenses and regulatory actions. A company gets them after a PDB access form and a license agreement, invoiced monthly. APIs and the NIPR Gateway are arranged with NIPR's business development team.

Signing in to NIPR

PDB Reports asks subscribers for a username and password; your company administrator gives each user a user ID and products and can reset passwords. LicenseHub identifies the licensee by NPN, license number, SSN or FEIN, with date of birth and the last four digits of the SSN. With Fous you sign in once through NIPR's own sign-in: the login is sealed with AES-256 and code and AI agents never see it.

Worth knowing

Renewal keeps the lines you already hold

A renewal can only renew existing lines of authority. Adding a line of authority is a separate application, made after the renewal has processed.

Renewal windows usually open 60 to 120 days out

Windows vary by state and typically open 60 to 120 days before expiration. NIPR suggests finishing CE at least 30 days ahead, since results take 3 to 5 business days to reach the state and NIPR.

Fees are not refunded

Each application carries state fees plus NIPR's transaction fee, currently $5.60, and fees are not refunded. A duplicate application warning means stop and contact NIPR before paying twice.

Each subscriber user has its own user ID

Your company administrator creates user IDs, assigns each user the PDB products they may use and an account for invoicing. A method works with the products your user ID has.
