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
- $75
- A&H-only state application
- $75
- Life + A&H in the same application
- $75
- 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; all LOAs excluding Surplus Lines. Fee is not the older handbook’s historical fee.
Fingerprinting & background
- Requirement
- Not required on the qualifying reciprocal pathway — see official scope and exceptions
- State instructions
- No routine additional fingerprint submission on the qualifying reciprocal pathway. R.S. 22:1560(A) expressly waives requirements except R.S. 22:1548 for valid, reciprocal home-state licensees. This is the PRODUCER provision, not consultant R.S. 22:1808.10. The enumerated nonresident conditions impose no routine fingerprint submission. This conclusion rests on the EXPRESS waiver, not merely silence in a checklist. Separate disciplinary/1033 consent review is outside this ordinary pathway.
Continuing education and other notes
Meet home-state continuing education requirements and submit the license application through NIPR. Have supporting documents ready to upload immediately; all required documents are due within 30 days. The non-resident Life/A&H checklist lists no routine fingerprint step; follow the rules for your license class and residency.

General non-resident rules
- Valid active resident home-state producer license in good standing; reciprocal home-state licensingR.S. 22:1560(A) expressly waives requirements except R.S. 22:1548 for valid, reciprocal home-state licensees. This is the PRODUCER provision, not consultant R.S. 22:1808.10. Ordinary reciprocal licensing requires no additional target-state exam; maintain the matching home-state authority.
