The National Insurance Producer Registry and the Assn. for Cooperative Operations Research and Development has signed an agreement to harmonize specific NIPR processes with existing ACORD messaging library data and message definitions in a move toward improving the producer licensing and appointment processes.

NIPR's gateway between the insurance industry and state insurance regulators supports compliance activities such as licensing, appointments and state review. The current gateway messages fully support both request and response, including error processing for both life and non-life business.

ACORD and NIPR plan to streamline the overall process by mapping approximately 9 proprietary NIPR transactions to the ACORD messaging library, a cross-domain messaging standard.
