The Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS) has revoked Romeo Kalaj's insurance license effective April 20, 2026, after the respondent admitted to hiring Alicia Buford (formerly Alicia Jackson) to take and pass an online proctored licensing exam on his behalf. The stipulation accepted by Senior Deputy Director Joseph A. Garcia establishes that Kalaj engaged in misrepresentation and fraudulent or dishonest practices under Sections 1239(1)(a) and 1239(1)(g) of the Michigan Insurance Code. The order permanently bars Kalaj from reapplying for any license administered by DIFS, and any attempt to do so will constitute a violation subject to additional proceedings.
