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
- $210
- A&H-only state application
- $210
- Life + A&H in the same application
- $210
- 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; $50 amendment. Renewal/reinstatement fees are different.
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. RSA 402-J:16(I) expressly waives requirements except RSA 402-J:8 for valid reciprocal home-state licensees. 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
No New Hampshire CE for nonresident producers in good standing at home. Termination of resident producer license normally terminates NH nonresident license, subject to timely residency-change procedure. No PO Box for physical residence/business.
