Complete required prelicensing education
Prepare for the Minnesota State Exam by completing a pre-licensing course of study.
To satisfy the requirements for your course, you will need to pass a 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, you will be able to download a PDF Certificate of Completion which is valid with WebCE for one year from the date of completion; you will need to take and pass your state exam within this timeframe.
Bring two forms of current signature identification (a valid driver’s license, non-driver ID, passport, military ID, or employee ID card, or credit card) and a copy of your prelicensing education Certificate of Completion on exam day.
Examination results are valid for three years from the date of the examination.
Before making an exam reservation, applicants should thoroughly review the State of Minnesota Licensing Candidate Handbook. The Candidate Handbook and additional licensing information can be accessed by clicking on the Student Handbook button above.
Submit Fingerprint
All applicants for Producer and Adjuster licenses must provide a set of fingerprints to the Minnesota Department of Commerce. Applicants can be fingerprinted at one of PSI Minnesota’s sites, during regular testing hours, on the day of your examination. The prints will be forwarded electronically to the appropriate review agencies. You will pay the fingerprinting fee at the test site on the day of testing. The $63.75 fee may be made payable by VISA, MasterCard, American Express or Discover. Failure to get fingerprinted on the day of the examination will delay the licensing process.

(36) months after the examination is passed. Candidates must complete an electronic application at www.sircon.com/minnesota
