Exam logistics

Where to apply and book the exam

• Arizona is unusual in requiring producer license renewal every FOUR years (not biennial), with 48 CE hours per cycle.

We have not published a step-by-step Arizona checklist yet. These are the official sources; anything on this page that is not cited to one of them comes from the state's own published exam outline.

What Arizona requires

Transcribed from NIPR's Arizona resident licensing requirements page, read 2026-09-16. Fees and rules change; confirm against Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions before you file.

Application fee

$120 (amendment $120) (Insurance Producer)

State exam

Insurance Producer exams are required for Life, Accident and Health or Sickness, Property, Casualty, Personal Lines and Crop, and not required for Variable Life and Variable Annuity, Credit or Travel. Adjuster and Bail Bond Agent and Surplus Lines Broker require exams; Staff Adjuster, Life Settlement Broker, Navigator, Certified Application Counselor, Portable Electronics Vendor, Risk Management Consultant and Self Service Storage Agent do not.

Pre-licensing education

Arizona law does not require pre-license education.

Fingerprints and background check

Fingerprints for resident insurance professional licences must be submitted electronically through the Arizona Department of Public Safety Public Services Portal.

Also worth knowing

Staff Adjuster is a line of authority under Adjuster and carries no separate fee row.
