Go green
At Symetra, we're concerned for the environment and have provided a number of ways to reduce our carbon footprint. For example, we pay all commissions electronically to reduce paper, and we offer you the ability to view your commission statements online, and download them as PDFs.
You can change a policy's insurance producer of record by downloading and completing the form below. All insurance producer change requests require a policy holder signature unless an agency or principal is transferring the agent of record within their organization.
Upon receipt, we'll review the form for proper signatures, insurance producer appointments and sales agreement status. If there are any issues with the request, it will be returned with an explanation of what's required for approval.

General annuity training
Insurance producers must comply with all general annuity training requirements for states where they plan to solicit Symetra annuity business.
Symetra will make every attempt to verify a producer's general annuity training completion(s), but we may request proof of completion from producer if the independent verification is unsuccessful.
If an insurance producer submits business and is then determined to be out of compliance, the business may be returned.
General annuity training requirements vary by state and situation. Symetra's Agency Services Licensing team can assist in determining any state specific requirements that may apply.
The team can be reached at 1-800-210-1106, option 1, or email contracting@symetra.com.
Suitability
Insurance producers must comply with all state and federal suitability requirements in states where they plan to hold a Symetra appointment.
Symetra requires a secondary suitability review by an approved broker-dealer on all annuity products. If annuity business has not been reviewed by an approved broker-dealer, a secondary suitability review will be conducted at no additional charge through a broker-dealer designated by Symetra.
New York best interests standard
New York revised Reg. 187 to place new requirements on insurance producers related to New York's "Best Interest" standard. The "Best Interest" standard expands the existing suitability criteria and requires agents, resident and non-resident, to act in the best interest of the customer when recommending transactions, with attention to given to whether the sale meets the financial and insurance needs of the customer.
All insurance producers conducting New York Annuity sales after Aug. 1, 2019, or New York Life sales after Feb. 1, 2020, must complete a NY Reg. 187 suitability course. Compliance with this requirement can be met in several ways. Please call our Agency Services Licensing team at 1-800-210-1106, option 1, or email contracting@symetra.com for complete details.
Product and regulatory training
Many states require insurance producers to be trained on the products they plan to sell and the specific regulations of the state where they plan to solicit business.
Symetra offers product and regulatory training designed to comply with state requirements. Symetra product-specific and regulatory training can be accessed using the links below.
Email address
We use the email address you provide as our main means of contact. To ensure you receive information in a timely fashion, please email contracting@symetra.com with your email or mailing address changes.
Advisories
Advisories are notifications of contractual or regulatory nature. We send all regulatory or sales agreement (your contract with Symetra) updates by email. These advisories contain such things as changes in commission schedules and paperwork requirements, so it's important that you review them.
