It depends upon the state. Most states are like New York; an out-of-state producer does not need a New York license if he or she is licensed in the state where the insured has its main location, the policy insures risks in that state, and the New York exposure is not the majority of the risks insured under the policy. 
 
However, there are some states that require a license if there is any exposure in that state. Examples include Texas and Washington State. Check with the insurance regulators in individual states to find out what is required.
