ALASKA INSURANCE PRELICENSING INFORMATION
Alaska does not require licensing candidates to complete prelicensing education; however, ExamFX highly recommends that you complete an educational course before attempting to take your state’s licensing exam.
WHAT’S IN MY COURSE?
Navigate to ExamFX’s home page and select the line of authority you’re interested in to learn more about our comprehensive insurance training packages.
DON'T FORGET YOUR READINESS EXAM!
ExamFX is so confident in the quality of its material that we offer our customers a first-time pass guarantee. If you don’t pass the first time around, we will refund your money. To qualify for this offer, you must pass our Readiness Exam with a score of 80% to determine maximum exam readiness. While completing this portion of your online course is not required, we highly recommend taking this extra step.
HOW DO I GET MY LICENSE?
Step 1 (optional): Complete an optional prelicensing course that helps prepare you to take and pass your licensing exam.
Step 2: Schedule your exam with your state’s testing provider, Pearson VUE. The fastest way to schedule your exam is to do so online at Pearson VUE. You can also schedule your exam over the phone at (800) 274-5993. Your exam may be taken at a physical Pearson Vue examination center or via a remote online proctored exam. Exam fees must be paid at the time of reservation.
To change or cancel your testing appointment, you must contact Pearson VUE at least 48 hours in advance or forfeit the examination fee.
Step 3: All resident candidates taking an insurance exam for the first time must be fingerprinted.
Only the Anchorage testing center offers fingerprints: to make a fingerprint reservation you will need to schedule online with Pearson VUE. You must do so only after scheduling your examination appointment. You may also use another approved fingerprinter at https://dps.alaska.gov/Statewide/R-I/Background/Fingerprinters to make an FBI FD 258 fingerprint card.
Step 4: Take and pass your state licensing exam. On the day of your appointment, you must bring with you two valid forms of government issued identification (driver’s license, passport, military I.D., etc.) one of which must contain a photograph. You will not be able to take your exam if these requirements are not met.
Candidates who pass all parts of an examination will receive a score report that indicates “pass” only; no numeric score is reported. For those candidates who fail one or more parts of the examination, a separate numeric score for each failed part will be reported.
Step 5: Apply for your license with NIPR and pay the application fee. You must apply for your license within 12 months of passing the exam. If you fail to do so you will be required to retake the exam. More detailed information regarding the licensing process can be found on the Alaska Licensing page for individuals at NIPR.
Step 6: Maintain your license by being aware of your continuing education requirements. Most insurance licenses must be maintained by completing a certain number of credit hours of continuing education each licensing period. ExamFX offers continuing education courses that will help you comply with your state’s requirements. Click Here to view your state’s education rules and stay on top of your license.
