How to get an insurance producer license?

To get an insurance producer license, you only need a high school diploma or GED certificate. However, a college degree may give you the option to skip steps in the licensing process. Insurance producers must have a state license for each type of insurance they sell, so it’s important to know where you wish to work, or even have a job lined up pending your completion of the program. In some states, you may be required to complete a pre-licensing course. Once you have secured an insurance producer position, it’s important to take additional courses to keep your license up to date.
