KENTUCKY INSURANCE PRELICENSING INFORMATION
Kentucky requires producer licensing candidates to take and complete a state-approved prelicensing course. You will also need to apply to your license with the state insurance department and register for the state licensing exam. Make sure to register for all 3 (prelicensing course, license application, state exam) using the personally identifiable information exactly as it appears on your government-issued ID. Discrepancies will delay the licensing process.
Kentucky requires an insurance application, fees, pre-licensing certification, and criminal background report PRIOR to scheduling an exam. Click here for more information regarding license requirements.

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.
