SBS Lookup:  How to find an agent in Illinois

State Based Systems step-by-step

  • Navigate to SBS Lookup
  • Under Jurisdiction select "Illinois”
  • Under "Search Type” select "Licensee”
  • Click the box next to "I agree to the NAIC’s Terms and Conditions"
  • Under "Entity Type" – select "individual" for a broker or insurance agent – select "Business Entity" for an agency or brokerage firm

Searching for a specific Individual or Business Entity by name

  • Search by name
  • NPN # is the national producer number and is NOT needed to perform the search

Searching for agents or agencies in a specific geographical region

  • Select "Advanced Criteria"
  • Search by type of license, city and state, zip code, etc. to pull up a list of agents/agencies in the area of your choice

Found your agent or agency?

Click on the agent/agency’s name in the list that populates after completing the search. 

  • License Quick View – Make sure license status shows “Active”
  • Contact Information is provided for the agent below the “Quick View”
  • “Line of Authority” indicates the types of insurance the agent is licensed to sell – agencies will NOT show lines of authority as those are dependent on the agents’ licenses and not the agency license.
