Individuals must complete a pre-licensing course of study for the lines of authority desired before taking any examination. The pre-licensing course must consist of 20 hours per line of authority on the general principles of insurance for that line of authority. The lines of authority requiring a pre-licensing course are as follows:

Life – 20 hours
Accident & Health or Sickness – 20 hours
Property – 20 hours

How to get an insurance license in Ohio

Meet the general eligibility criteria
- Be at least 18 years of age.
- Be a resident of or have principal place of business in Ohio

Complete required prelicensing education
- Prepare for the Ohio State Exam by completing a pre-licensing course of study.
- To satisfy the requirements for your course, you will need to pass a closed-book non-monitored Exam Prep Course Certification Exam with a 70% or greater.
- When making a licensing exam reservation, applicants will be required to present your Certificate of Completion at your licensing exam. After passing the Exam Prep Course Certification Exam, your Certificate of Completion will be emailed to you.

The Ohio Department of Insurance is no longer offering remote pre-licensing exams, effective immediately. All tests must be scheduled at a PSI exam test site going forward. Register and pass state licensing exams.
- Make an exam reservation at psiexams.com or by calling (855) 807-3995.
- Bring two forms of current signature identification (a valid driver’s license, non-driver ID, passport, military ID, or employee ID card, credit card) and your WebCE Certificate of Completion. Applicants may need to provide the WebCE pre-licensing provider school code: 7919 at the time of making their licensing exam reservation.
Before making an exam reservation, applicants should thoroughly review the State of Ohio Licensing Candidate Handbook by clicking on the Student Handbook button above.

Submit fingerprints
- All individuals applying for a resident insurance license or RDA for a travel business entity issued by the Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI) to submit fingerprints for a criminal records check completed by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification (BCI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). The results of both criminal records checks must be sent directly to ODI from BCI or FBI. Results not received directly by BCI or FBI will not be accepted.
  
  To complete a criminal background check, applicants must use "National" WebCheck, a web-based fingerprinting technology that processes background checks electronically. By law, ODI cannot complete the processing of an applicant’s application until it receives the criminal background check report from both BCI and FBI. For additional information and instructions please visit https://insurance.ohio.gov/background-check

- After passing your licensing exam, complete the insurance license application online at www.nipr.com.
