Step-by-step checklist

  1. 1

    Pick your line of authority

    Virginia P&C lines map to the same NAIC framework as most states: P&C combined, Personal Lines, or specialty lines. Most new producers start with combined P&C.

  2. 2

    Schedule fingerprinting through Fieldprint

    Virginia uses Fieldprint for producer fingerprinting (different from Texas, which uses IdentoGO). Schedule online at fieldprintvirginia.com.

    Cost: ~$50Time: 30 minutes; results to BOI within a week
    Schedule fingerprinting →
  3. 3

    Study with our exam prep course

    Virginia doesn't mandate state-approved pre-licensing, but the exam covers Va. Code §38.2 in detail — particularly licensing rules (Section I) and unique state coverages (auto financial responsibility, FAIR plan via VPIA).

    Cost: $49.99Time: 3-4 weeks part-time
