HOW DO I GET MY LICENSE?
Step 1 (optional): Complete an optional prelicensing course that helps prepare you to take and pass your licensing exam.
Step 2: Schedule your exam with your state’s testing provider, PSI Services LLC, at least 24 hours prior to your desired examination date. The fastest way to schedule your exam is to do so by accessing PSI’s registration Web site at www.psiexams.com. Internet registration is available 24 hours a day. You can also schedule your exam over the phone at (800) 733-9267. The fee is $60 for the 2 examination portions, regardless if you take 1 or both examination portions. Examination retakes are $60 for 1 or both examination portions.
To change or cancel your testing appointment, you must contact PSI Services, LLC at least 48 hours in advance or forfeit the examination fee. You may reschedule online at www.psiexams.com or call PSI at (800) 733-9267.
Step 3: Take and pass your state licensing exam. On the day of your appointment, arrive at the test center 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to complete the necessary sign-in procedures. You must bring with you two (2) forms of personal ID (driver’s license, passport, military I.D., etc.) Both must have your signature, and one of the two must have your photo. You will not be able to take your exam if these requirements are not met.
Your score will be given to you immediately following completion of the examination.
You MUST be fingerprinted at one of PSI test centers. You may get fingerprinted on the day of your examination or walk-in during the regular testing hours. PSI does not schedule appointments for fingerprinting. The $70 processing fee may be made payable by money order, cashiers check, company check, VISA or MasterCard (checks are to be made payable to PSI).
Step 4: After you have passed your insurance examination and have been fingerprinted, apply for your license online via www.sircon.com/idaho or www.nipr.com within 180 days of passing and pay the state licensing fees of $80. Detailed licensing information can be found through the Idaho Department of Insurance.
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.
