The invoices will not be displayed on the NIPR web site after 4:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time on Friday, May 30, 2008. If payment is not received by NIPR by May 30, 2008 the appointments are subject to termination. Please note this year NIPR will be accepting both credit card payment and electronic checks. Companies are encouraged to use one of these two options to eliminate the need for manual payment and processing. Paper checks will not be available as a payment option on the appointment renewal application after May 23, 2008. New Jersey will not accommodate paper check processing for appointment renewals after 2008.

All agency terminations must be posted on NIPR's producer database before close of business March 27, 2008 or they will be included on the renewal invoice. The renewal invoice cannot be altered and the company must provide payment for the full amount billed.

Appointment terminations entered after March 27, 2008 will be held in the NIPR Gateway during the electronic renewal process and will still be included on the renewal invoice. Processing of these terminations will begin May 31, 2008 according to NIPR’s termination process rules.

Prior to March 27, 2008 terminations can be made through the NIPR Company Appointment Reconciliation Report (CARR) or through NIPR’s  Authorized Business Partners.

Beginning April 7, 2008, the date on which the electronic invoices will be accessible on the NIPR website, the appointment renewal process shall be as follows.
