Step 1: Research Your State’s Requirements
Every state has unique requirements for earning a life insurance license. Research your state’s pre-licensing education hours, fees, and required documents through your state’s Department of Insurance website.
Step 2: Complete Pre-Licensing Education
Most states require aspiring agents to complete a specific number of pre-licensing education hours. Choose a course provider that offers comprehensive and flexible learning options, including online and in-person classes.
- Study Topics: Insurance basics, ethics, and state regulations.
- Tips: Take detailed notes and complete all practice quizzes provided by your course.
Step 3: Schedule and Pass the Licensing Exam
Once your pre-licensing education is complete, register for the state licensing exam. These exams typically consist of multiple-choice questions covering insurance concepts and state regulations.
- Preparation: Use practice exams to familiarize yourself with the format.
- Exam Day: Arrive early, bring required identification, and stay calm and focused during the test.
Step 4: Submit Your License Application
After passing the exam, you’ll need to submit an application to your state’s Department of Insurance. Applications usually include:
- Proof of pre-licensing education completion.
- Exam passing score.
- Background check and fingerprinting.
- Payment of licensing fees.
Step 5: Join an Insurance Agency or IMO
With your license in hand, you’re ready to start selling life insurance. Consider partnering with an Independent Marketing Organization (IMO) like The Marketing Alliance to access training, tools, and carrier contracts.
