Which factor could lead ARC to remove an agency from the ARC agency list due to licensing compliance?

• A. The agency has valid licenses in its jurisdiction.
• B. The agency has a recent compliance audit with no issues.
• C. The agency's authorized location lacks the required licenses for its jurisdiction.
• D. The agency operates with ARC-approved carriers.

Answer: (C)

Licensing compliance is essential for ARC to trust that an agency is legally authorized to operate in its area. If the agency’s authorized location does not hold the licenses required by its jurisdiction, it means the agency isn’t legally permitted to operate there. That lack of authorization is a significant compliance violation, and ARC could remove the agency from its agency list to protect buyers and maintain program integrity. Having valid licenses indicates current authorization, and a recent compliance audit with no issues shows ongoing good standing. Operating with ARC-approved carriers relates to where the agency can issue tickets or which carriers it can work with, not to whether the agency itself holds the necessary licenses.
