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
- $101
- A&H-only state application
- $101
- Life + A&H in the same application
- $101
- 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.
Insurance Producer $100 plus $1 online application fee per session. Does not include NIPR fee.
Fingerprinting & background
- Requirement
- Not stated as required — confirm with the state
- State instructions
- Confirm the non-resident producer fingerprint requirement with Mississippi. The Department’s current fingerprint instructions address Bail Agents, rather than an explicit exemption for standard Life/A&H producers.
Continuing education and other notes
Home-state licensing is checked through NAIC/SPLD, and reciprocal continuing education applies. Separate annuity best-interest or product training may still be required. From 2026-07-01, MID lists a $50 agent certificate-of-authority filing/processing charge. That appointment charge is separate from the $101 producer application fee.
