PENNSYLVANIA INSURANCE PRELICENSING INFORMATION
Pennsylvania 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.
*A state reporting fee of $5.00 per course will be charged when you place your order.

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. The fastest way to schedule your exam is to do so online at PSI Exams. You can also schedule your exam over the phone at (888) 818-5822. 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.
Step 3: Take and pass your 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.) which must contain your name and photograph and your Certificate of Completion. You will not be able to take your exam if these requirements are not met.
Security measures are taken for all testing methods. Restrictions on what you may bring with you to the testing center, into the testing room, and what you may wear will be enforced. For more detailed information about the security measures that will be taken during your testing appointment, please read and review the candidate bulletin offered at PSI Exams
Your score will be displayed on screen at the end of the examination and a score report will be emailed to you. NOTE: Candidates taking a remotely proctored exam must select to end both the exam portion and survey portion of the test in order to receive your on-screen results and emailed score report.
Step 4: Apply for your license. Pennsylvania resident applicants must use the online application service at www.nipr.com.
Be aware that the state of Pennsylvania requires fingerprinting. It is recommended that you complete your licensing application before beginning the fingerprinting process. Candidates must visit the IdentoGO website to schedule their reservation at ueroll.identogo.com or by telephone at (844) 321-2101. You must indicate, when registering online, the service code for the Pennsylvania Insurance Department: 1KGBGJ.
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.
