How to check an agent's Oklahoma license
- Get the agent's full name. Ask for the name on their license and, if you like, their National Producer Number (NPN).
- Open OID's Licensee Look Up. On the Oklahoma Insurance Department's Licensee Look Up page, click Start Here.
- Set the search. Choose Oklahoma as the jurisdiction, Licensee as the search type and Individual as the entity type. Enter only the first and last name, agree to the terms and search.
- Read the result. Check that the license is active and not expired. If you can't find the agent, call OID's Licensing Division at 405-521-3916.
Questions to ask
- Which companies do you work with in my county? Plans differ across Oklahoma's 77 counties, and Medicare Advantage choices are limited in some rural counties.
- Can you check my doctors, my prescriptions and my pharmacy before I enroll?
- Will you be there after I enroll, for example if my plan changes or ends?
Red flags: someone who calls you without your permission, says they're from Medicare, pressures you to decide today, or asks for your Medicare number before explaining anything. Medicare doesn't call to sell plans. Report problems to the Insurance Department; see how to report Medicare fraud in Oklahoma.

Frequently asked questions
Does an agent have to live in Oklahoma?
No. An agent can hold an Oklahoma nonresident license. What matters is that the license is issued by the Oklahoma Insurance Department and is active; the Licensee Look Up shows both resident and nonresident licensees.
Does it cost anything to use an agent?
No. Licensed insurance agents are paid by the insurance companies whose plans they sell, so their help is at no cost to you. Plan premiums are the same whether you enroll through an agent or on your own.
Where do I complain about an agent in Oklahoma?
Contact the Oklahoma Insurance Department at 1-800-522-0071 (in Oklahoma) or use its online complaint form. It licenses agents and investigates complaints about insurance companies and sales practices.
