Non-resident state fees
- Life-only state application
- $140
- A&H-only state application
- $140
- Life + A&H in the same application
- $140
- NIPR transaction — separate, only for NIPR applications
- $5.60 general initial-application transaction fee; confirm the final charge for your selected state and application with NIPR before paying.
Per application for Insurance Producer, not the separate Fraternal Agent or Consultant class.
