Sajad I Alshiblawi Insurance License Revoked for Exam Fraud
Summary
DIFS issued an Order Accepting Stipulation on April 20, 2026, revoking Sajad I Alshiblawi's insurance license under Enforcement Case No. 25-18421 after finding that Alshiblawi hired Alicia Jackson to fraudulently take and pass the MI Life, Accident and Health Producer Exam on his behalf. Respondent admitted violations of MCL 500.1239(1)(a) (obtaining a license through misrepresentation or fraud) and MCL 500.1239(1)(g) (fraudulent or dishonest practices and untrustworthiness). The revocation is effective immediately and Alshiblawi is permanently barred from reapplying for any DIFS-administered license.
“Respondent admits to hiring and employing Alicia Jackson to take and pass the online proctored MI Life, Accident and Health Producer Exam on Respondent's behalf, justifying sanctions under Sections 1239(1)(a), 1239(1)(g), and 1244 of the Code.”
Insurance producers and applicants should note that DIFS treats proxy exam-taking as conduct warranting permanent license revocation with no opportunity for reapplication under MCL 500.1239(1)(a) and (g). Any individual currently holding or applying for a Michigan insurance license who engaged in or is aware of similar conduct should view this enforcement action as the applicable standard of scrutiny.
