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?
To earn your certificate of completion, you must:
- Complete the course registration by entering your legal first and last name as it appears on your government issued identification, your social security number or last four digits of your social security number, date of birth, mailing/physical address, daytime telephone number and a valid email address.
IMPORTANT: Entering incorrect information may delay the issuance of the certificate of completion or, in the event of significant errors related to the identity of the registrant, any progress through the materials will be invalidated, and you must begin the course again.
- Complete and pass the certificate exam with a score of 70% or better with a proctor/disinterested third party present. The disinterested third party must have no financial interest in your success or failure and must not be a minor, relative, supervisor, or an employee under your line of supervision. The proctor must be physically present, must supervise the duration of the exam, and follow all state proctoring rules.
You must complete your prelicensing course and receive a certificate of completion prior to taking the state examination.

HOW DO I GET MY LICENSE?
Step 1: Complete a prelicensing course that has been approved by the Department of Insurance. Once you have completed your course and passed the Certificate Exam, ExamFX will review and process your Certificate of Completion. Certificate processing takes up to 2 business days and may be delayed for proctor validation. Once approved, your Certificate of Completion will be emailed to you, or you may download and print it from your ExamFX account. Note: The Certificate of Completion is valid for one year.
Step 2: Schedule your exam with your state’s testing provider, Pearson VUE. You may also schedule over the phone at 800) 275-8247. You must provide the training provider code (ExamFX training provider code is 50801) at the time of making their Pearson VUE licensing examination reservation. Your exam may be taken at a physical Pearson VUE examination center or via a remote online proctored exam. Exam fees must be paid at the time of reservation.
All pre-licensing requirements must be satisfied prior to passing the Pearson VUE examination for the exam scores to be valid. Passing scores are valid for one (1) year from the examination date and the license application must be received by Pearson VUE within one (1) year of passing the examination. To obtain your score report, log into your Pearson VUE account.
Step 3: Take and pass your 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 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. Most insurance licenses must be maintained by completing a certain number of credit hours of continuing education each licensing period. ExamFX offers continuing education courses that will help you comply with your state’s requirements. Click here to view your state’s education rules and stay on top of your license.
