Colorado Insurance Prelicensing Requirements

COLORADO INSURANCE PRELICENSING INFORMATION

Colorado requires potential agents take and complete a state approved prelicensing course before taking their licensing exam.

HOW DO I COMPLETE MY EXAMFX PRELICENSING EDUCATION COURSE?

Step 1: Complete a prelicensing course that has been approved by the Department of Insurance. Once you have completed your course, ExamFX will issue a certificate of completion which you may download and print from your online ExamFX account. Certificate population may be delayed by a short period time due to need for proctor validation.

Step 2: Schedule your exam with your state’s testing provider, Pearson VUE. You may also schedule over the phone at (800) 274-2616. Your exam fee will be $48 and must be paid at the time of reservation.

Step 3: Take and pass you state licensing exam. On the day of your appointment you must bring with you two valid forms of government issued identification (driver’s license, passport, military I.D., etc.) which must contain your name and photograph. You must also bring with you your certificate of completion. You will not be able to take your exam if these requirements are not met.

After the exam, results will be available immediately.

Step 4: Apply for your license. Colorado resident applicants may use the online application service at NIPR or with Sircon.

Step 5: Maintain your license by being aware of your continuing education requirements.
