How to Log into Your Account

Log into your portal account using your user name and password. You do not need to create a new account, and you do not require a PIN. Your user name is the email address that you have on file with Council. If this is the first time that you are logging into your account, your temporary password is your date of birth (MMDDYYYY). The system will prompt you to change your password after your first log in.

How to Reset Your Password

On the portal login screen, click on I’ve forgotten my password. Type in the email address associated with your account. You will need to provide the answer to your security question. A temporary password will be sent to you via email. When you log into the portal with your temporary password, the system will prompt you to change it. Please note that the old password is the temporary one that was sent to you via email; the new password is a password of your choice. (See the FAQ below for common questions about password retrieval and security questions.)

How to Register for an Account

If you do not have a portal account or you no longer have access to the email address associated with your account and can therefore not use the "I've forgotten my password" option, you can register for a new account. Click on Register for an Account from the portal login screen. Fill in the required account information, then click on Add New or Existing Contact to Account. On the following screen, your full legal name to match your photo ID, birthdate (in MM/DD/YYYY format), and an email address that you check regularly, as this will be the email address that the Insurance Council will use to contact you. The system requires that you add a residence address as a minimum requirement.

How to Manage Delegates

Nominees for agencies/firms have the ability to add delegates to their portal account. A delegate can make changes to the agency/firm's account through the portal--for example, someone other than the nominee can be assigned to make updates to contact information, manage Authorizations to Represent (ATRs), or complete fee payments on behalf of the corporate licence. Nominees are responsible and accountable for all licensing activities and transactions undertaken by the delegate on their behalf.

From the main menu, the nominee will click on Manage delegates, then Add a Delegate. Enter the name and email address for your account delegate and select which items you would like the delegate to manage on your behalf. The system will send an email and the delegate will need to log into the portal in order to accept the invitation. Please note that delegates must have a portal account created before an invitation can be sent. Delegate permissions can be revoked or amended at any time through the nominee's portal account. A delegate cannot add a delegate; all delegates must be added or removed from the nominee's portal account.
