How can you get an auto insurance license?

Answer

to sell auto insurance you must find what is called an "underwriter" or the people who pay if your insured has an accident. they will tell you what you need to do to sell their policies. look under "underwriter".

Since the enactment of the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1941, insurance companies and insurance brokers/producers have been licensed under the jurisdiction of their state of residence.  One does not need an underwriter to become licensed.  You will find the department of insurance as a part of your state government.  Each state has different licensing laws, continuing education requirements, and traning and testing requirements prior to issuing a license.  One may self-study or take a class, then take the state exam which is held at least bi-weekly.  There is a fee for the study materials, training, exam and license.  In Illinois for example, a person wanting to sell auto insurance would need to be licensed in both Property and Liability insurance as auto insurance has both components.  For more information, go to your state's ".gov" web site and there will most likely be a link to the department of insurance.  Once there, find the link for licensing.
