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
- $90 base; home-state retaliatory schedule applies
- A&H-only state application
- $90 base; home-state retaliatory schedule applies
- Life + A&H in the same application
- $90 base; home-state retaliatory schedule applies
- 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.
Indiana’s base fee is $90 when no retaliatory fee applies. The official Indiana home-state table determines your charge; amounts may apply per line of authority or group. For North Carolina residents, the Department lists $44 + $50 per requested line. A NIPR-linked 2025 row differs, and billing for combined Life, Accident & Health needs confirmation.
Fingerprinting & background
- Requirement
- Not required on the qualifying reciprocal pathway — see official scope and exceptions
- State instructions
- IDOI explicitly states Indiana does not require fingerprints to be on file with the Department, unlike many other states. Applies to ordinary producer licensing; distinct criminal/1033 issues require separate review.
Continuing education and other notes
Qualifying non-residents meet home-state continuing education requirements and need no Indiana prelicensing course or exam. Apply for either combined Life, Accident & Health or the separate lines, not both at the same time. Title designated-home-state exceptions for AZ/CA/IL/KY/TX are separate from Life & Health licensing.
