Non-resident licensing summary
Already licensed in another state? Qualifying matching Life / A&H authority usually does not require a new target-state exam. Home-state-dependent fees, fingerprint exemptions and other conditions differ from the resident path. Confirm your final eligibility and payment total on the official application.
Non-resident state fees
- Life-only state application
- $120
- A&H-only state application
- $120
- Life + A&H in the same application
- $120
- 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.
NIPR: $100 Life or Accident & Sickness; Life + Accident & Sickness simultaneously is $100; add $20 application processing per license class. State total shown includes that $20, not NIPR fee.
Fingerprinting & background
- Requirement
- Not required on the qualifying reciprocal pathway — see official scope and exceptions
- State instructions
- OCI fingerprint instructions are resident/DHS-producer instructions. Not an ordinary reciprocal nonresident Life/A&H requirement.
Continuing education and other notes
Maintain home-state CE and equivalent authority. NIPR initial rules require signed/notarized Citizenship Affidavit plus secure/verifiable ID for every applicant and supporting documents through Attachment Warehouse. License printing/appointments are separate charges.
