You will need to make an appointment to take the state licensing exam. PSI is the exam provider. After you have completed the pre-licensing education requirements, register for the Property & Casualty insurance examination at https://home.psiexams.com/#/home or call 888-818-5822. You can take the exam in a physical PSI examination center or via a remote, online proctored exam. Exam fees must be paid at the time of reservation.
- One valid form of government-issued identification (driver’s license, passport, military ID) that contains your name and photo
- Certificate that shows successful completion of the pre-licensing education requirement
Almost immediately after you complete your exam, you’ll receive a Pass or Fail score. If you pass, your score report will include an application for your license.
After passing the exam, you have the option to apply for your license. If you pass, your score report will include an application for your license, and you can apply for it right there at the exam center. For that reason, it’s a good idea to bring checks, money orders, or a credit card with you when you take the exam. You will need to pay the license application fee of $55.
After you complete your application, you can look up its status at https://www.insurance.pa.gov/. Once it’s been issued, you can print your license right from the website.
In Pennsylvania, all new license candidates must be fingerprinted (for both the FBI and state police database access). There is a fingerprinting fee of about $24.
You will still need a fingerprint scan, so you’ll have to register online via the IdentoGO at https://uenroll.identogo.com, or you can call 844-321-2101. You’ll get a registration number you can take with you when you go to the IdentoGO site for fingerprinting.
When registering online an applicant must use the appropriate service code assigned to the Insurance Department, which is 1KG8Q3.
Individuals should not register for a fingerprinting appointment and submit their fingerprints until after they have passed any examination requirements and applied for licensure. Any fingerprint results received without a corresponding license application will be destroyed, and individuals will be required to repay the fingerprinting fee and resubmit their fingerprints at an IdentoGO center.
Effective May 1, 2025, IA&B will suspend its live classroom and live webinar exam preparation courses. With the legislative elimination of the pre-licensing requirement by the state insurance department, oversight of the courses and content will transition from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. This change will impact how IA&B can offer pre-licensing study courses. Since the content of our courses has been live, instructional-based and leads to a state license, IA&B would be required to register as a school through the Pennsylvania Department of Education to continue. This process is extensive, lengthy, costly, and not fiscally responsible for our membership.
As a result, IA&B has enhanced our self-study resources by including pre-recorded videos, which are available now. Additionally, we have determined that the best course of action is to develop our exam preparation resources further, so they are fully on-demand. We remain committed to training and educating insurance producer candidates, and our on-demand resources will include the same comprehensive study materials you have come to expect from IA&B.
We recognize the value of live, instructor-led instruction and are actively working to continue offering this format alongside our on-demand options.
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact IA&B President & CEO Jason Ernest, Esq. at JasonE@IABforME.com.
