State Insurance License Exam
The Life Agent exam is divided into two parts (general and state-specific) that you must complete within 75 minutes.
To sit for the state exam, you will need to make a reservation. Before doing that, however, you must visit the National Insurance Producer Registry website to complete your license application and pay all related fees. Once it's accepted, they will reserve a National Producer Number (NPN) for you.
