Summary

MI DIFS issued an Order Accepting Stipulation in Case No. 26-18934, revoking Tyler Reid's insurance license effective April 6, 2026. The revocation stems from Respondent's admission that he obtained a license through misrepresentation by using an exam proxy, constituting fraud under MCL 500.1239(1)(a) and demonstrating untrustworthiness under MCL 500.1239(1)(g). Respondent is permanently barred from reapplying for any DIFS-administered license.

What changed

The Michigan DIFS Senior Deputy Director accepted a stipulation and issued an Order Accepting Stipulation revoking Tyler Reid's insurance license (System ID No. 1353305). The revocation is based on Respondent's admission that he obtained the license through misrepresentation using an exam proxy, violating MCL 500.1239(1)(a), and that he engaged in fraudulent or dishonest practices demonstrating untrustworthiness in business conduct, violating MCL 500.1239(1)(g). The license is revoked immediately and Respondent is permanently prohibited from reapplying for any license administered by DIFS. Any attempt to reapply will constitute a violation of this Order and trigger additional proceedings.

Insurance licensees and applicants should be aware that DIFS actively enforces licensing integrity requirements. Using proxies, fraud, or misrepresentation in the licensing process results in severe consequences including immediate license revocation and permanent exclusion from the regulated insurance industry in Michigan. This enforcement action underscores the importance of compliance with the Michigan Insurance Code's ethical standards and the seriousness with which DIFS treats fraudulent licensing practices.

What to do next

  1. Immediately cease all insurance activities if holding a license obtained through proxy exams
  2. Ensure compliance with licensing integrity requirements under Michigan Insurance Code
  3. Report any known exam fraud or misrepresentation to DIFS

Penalties

License revocation effective immediately; permanent bar from reapplication for any DIFS-administered license

  5. Respondent admits that sanctions are warranted under Section 1239(1)(a) of the Code, MCL
    500.1239(1)(a), because Respondent attempted to and did obtain a license through misrepresentation or fraud.

  6. Respondent admits that sanctions are warranted under Section 1239(1)(g) of the Code, MCL
    500.1239(1)(g), because Respondent used fraudulent or dishonest practices and demonstrated untrustworthiness in the conduct of business.
