📌 Step 1: How to Apply for an Insurance License After Passing the Insurance Exam

Once you pass the exam, your next step is applying for your insurance producer license through your state’s Department of Insurance

Most states require:

A license application and fee ($50–$150)
A background check and fingerprinting
Proof of pre-licensing education (if required)
Waiting period for approval (usually a few days to a few weeks)

💡 Pro Tip | Check your testing provider (PSI, Pearson VUE, or Prometric) immediately after your exam. They'll often include licensing instructions with your score report.

🧾 Application Reminders:

Starting a new license? Choose "Initial / Resident / Individual / Producer"
Adding a new line? Select "Add Line of Authority"
Code to use: Property & Allied Lines and Casualty & Allied Lines
