Why B is correct
Under Chapter 626, Florida Statutes, and the Department of Financial Services' administration of the licensing system, a licensee must keep the Department informed of current contact information, including address changes, and must respond to Department communications. Waiting for the next appointment renewal cycle is no substitute, because Department notices in between can trigger response duties. Practically, a licensee who misses a DFS notice because of a stale address still faces the consequences of non-response.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The appointing insurer's records do not update the Department's licensing file; the licensee's own duty to keep the DFS informed remains.
- C) Waiting for the renewal cycle risks missed Department notices; the duty is to keep contact information current at all times.
- D) No rule requires counsel as the sole channel; licensees communicate with the Department directly.
