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, Pearson Vue, at least 24 hours prior to your desired examination date. The fastest way to schedule your exam is to do so online at Pearson Vue or call (800) 274-2721. 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. To change your testing appointment, you must contact Pearson Vue at least 48 hours in advance or forfeit the exam fee.
If you are canceling your appointment, you must do so at least 3 calendar days prior to your appointment. Schedule your appointment here: https://home.pearsonvue.com/id/insurance.
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.
The computerized exam is scored immediately upon completion of parts I and II of the exam.
Step 4: After you have passed your insurance examination and have been fingerprinted, apply for your license online at SIRCON or NIPR within 180 days of passing and pay the state licensing fees. 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.
