The Brazilian Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP) has opened a consultation on revised qualification and registration rules for insurance brokers and requirements governing self-regulatory entities. The draft would consolidate provisions spread across eight SUSEP circulars and implement National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP) Resolution No. 493/2026. It continues earlier work to consolidate brokerage regulation considered by SUSEP’s board in March.

The proposal would introduce specific professional qualifications and tailor mandatory minimum training content to brokers’ intended market segments, reflecting changes in products, business models and digital distribution channels. Registration provisions address applications and refusals, suspension and cancellation, and updates to registered information. For self-regulatory entities, the draft revises which acts require SUSEP endorsement, notification or prior authorization, aligning these requirements with the CNSP resolution.

A proposed one-year transition would allow qualification courses, examinations and broker registration systems to be adapted. The draft would also preserve the rights of registered professionals and candidates already enrolled in qualification courses when the final rule is published.
