Step-by-Step Guide to Earning Your License

1. Understand Your State’s Requirements

Licensing requirements vary by state. Research your state’s specific regulations regarding pre-licensing education hours, application fees, and exams.

2. Complete Pre-Licensing Education

Most states require pre-licensing education covering life and health insurance principles. Choose an approved course provider offering flexible online or in-person classes.

3. Pass the State Licensing Exam

The licensing exam tests your knowledge of insurance products, state regulations, and ethical standards. Study thoroughly using practice exams and review materials provided by your course.

4. Submit Your License Application

After passing the exam, submit your application through your state’s insurance department. Be prepared to provide proof of education, fingerprints, and a background check.

5. Start Selling Insurance!

Once licensed, you can start selling life and health insurance policies. Consider joining an Independent Marketing Organization (IMO) like The Marketing Alliance for training, resources, and carrier access.
