Step 2: Apply for your license. Kentucky resident applicants must use the online application service at www.nipr.com. Additional licensing application guidance may be accessed on the NIPR website.
Step 3: Schedule your exam with your state’s testing provider, the Kentucky Department of Insurance. Registration must be completed through your eServices account after the Department processes your application. The examination fee is $50. This fee does not include NIPR fees. NOTE: Kentucky does not offer remote testing.
Step 4: Take and pass you state licensing exam. On the day of your appointment you must bring with you one valid form of government issued identification (driver’s license, passport, military I.D., etc.) that must contain your name and photograph and your Certificate of Completion. 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.
