State Insurance Prelicensing
Requirements

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.

Schedule your exam with your state’s testing provider, the Alabama Department of Insurance in partnership with the University of Alabama. Registration must be completed online at https://training.ua.edu/alabama-insurance-pre-licensing-exams. Remote testing may be available for certain exams.

Online Testing exams can be taken anytime at your convenience once the prelicensing certificate and driver’s license have been uploaded and approved. Please wait 24-48 business hours after registering to receive an email invite from alabamasupport@adjusterpro.com to start the online testing process.

1. Testing sites are located in Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, Tuscaloosa and Montgomery.
2. Once registered, a testing appointment may not be cancelled. The exam fee is nonrefundable and nontransferable. You must go back online and re-register for the exam.

Step 2: Take and pass your state licensing exam. On the day of your appointment, you must bring with you one valid form of government issued identification (driver’s license, passport, military I.D., etc.) that must contain your name and photograph. 

Once you have completed your examination you will be made aware of your results. Examination results may take up to three days to appear on the Alabama Department of Insurance’s website.

Step 3: Apply for your license. Alabama resident applicants must use the online application service at www.nipr.com and the website will guide you through the application process.

The state of Alabama requires fingerprinting through the vendor FieldPrint. You should seek to get fingerprinted after passing the state exam and one day before applying for the license. Schedule your reservation at https://fieldprintalabama.com/individuals.

Step 4: 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.
