NEW JERSEY INSURANCE PRELICENSING INFORMATION

New Jersey 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.

HOW DO I COMPLETE MY EXAMFX PRELICENSING EDUCATION COURSE?

To earn your certificate of completion:

  • Read every chapter and take the end-of-chapter quiz
  • Score 70% or better on each chapter quiz before progressing to the next chapter
  • Complete and pass the Practice Exam: Exam Mode with a minimum score of 70%

DON'T FORGET YOUR REDINESS EXAM!

ExamFX is so confident in the quality of its material that we offer our customers a first-time pass guarantee. If you don’t pass the first time around, we will refund your money. To qualify for this offer, you must pass our Readiness Exam with a score of 80% to determine maximum exam readiness. While completing this portion of your online course is not required, we highly recommend taking this extra step.

HOW DO I GET MY LICENSE?

Step 1: Complete a prelicensing course that has been approved by the Department of Insurance. Once you have completed your course, ExamFX will issue a certificate of completion which you may download and print from your online ExamFX account.

Step 2: Schedule your exam with your state’s testing provider, PSI. Registration can be completed most efficiently by signing up online at PSI. You may also schedule over the phone at (800) 733-9267. Your exam may be taken at a physical PSI examination center or via a remote online proctored exam. Exam fees must be paid at the time of reservation.

To cancel your exam, you must contact PSI Exams at least two days in advance or forfeit your registration fee.

Step 3: Take and pass your state licensing exam. On the day of your appointment, you must bring with you two valid forms of government issued identification (driver’s license, passport, military I.D., etc.) one of which must contain your name and photograph. 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.

Once you have completed your examination you will be made aware of your results. If you pass, you will immediately receive a successful notification and a score report. If you fail, you will receive a diagnostic report indicating your strengths or weaknesses by examination type with the score report.

Your score will automatically be reported to NIPR and the Department of Insurance.

Step 4: New Jersey law requires all individual applicants for an insurance license to submit fingerprints and written consent for a criminal history check. The Department recommends scheduling your fingerprinting scan immediately after passing the licensing exam.

Schedule your appointment online with IdentoGo or by phone at 1-877-503-5981. A total cost of $62.66 must be paid at the time of registration.

Upon your appointment, you must present the appropriate and completed Universal Form and proper identification. Proper identification must be issued by a Federal, State, County, or Municipal entity and include your photo, name, address, and date of birth. The Universal Form may be accessed on the Department of Insurance’s website.

Step 5: Apply for your license. New Jersey resident applicants must use the online application service at www.nipr.com. Additional licensing application guidance may be accessed on the NIPR website.

Step 6: 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.
