Heads up

#1 Escalating retake waits

Candidates face a 24-hour wait for the first three failures, followed by a mandatory 30-day wait for any subsequent attempts.

#2 Fingerprinting service code

The specific service code FPVABOIProducer must be used to ensure prints are routed correctly to the state regulator.

#3 CE scaling

CE requirements scale based on license scope; most agents require 16 hours, but those holding Property & Casualty licenses require 24 hours.

Official sites
