Things people miss in Montana
#1 No Combined Exam
Montana does not offer a combined Life & Health exam; each line of authority requires its own separate exam and fee.
#2 Fingerprinting Process
Fingerprinting is managed via a manual mail-in process with CSI, which can take 1-2 weeks longer than standard digital fingerprinting.
#3 License Expiration
Licenses renew every 2 years; a one-year grace period exists for late renewal, but after one year, you must reapply as a new applicant.
