Michigan Insurance Prelicensing Exam Requirements

MICHIGAN INSURANCE PRELICENSING INFORMATION

Michigan 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. (Note: applicants for the Michigan Variable Life and Annuities producer license just have to take the exam and do not have to complete prelicensing education.)
