Alaska Life And Health Licensing Requirements

Alaska Life And Health Pre-Licensing Requirements For Resident Agents

Like all states, Alaska has its own state-specific rules as to what is required for life and health insurance licensing. However, unlike many other states, there are no particular Alaska life and health pre-licensing requirements. You do not need to put in a specific set of study hours or receive pre-licensing certification.

Despite this, we have found that it is extremely difficult to pass the licensing exam if you have not put in a significant number of study hours. The best way to make sure you pass the life and health insurance licensing exam in Alaska is to put in the work and take a proven pre-licensing course, such as those that we provide at AB Training Center.

When you are confident that you are sufficiently prepared, contact Pearson VUE to schedule your exam. You can schedule online or call 1-800-274-5993. Be prepared to pay a fee of $89.

You will need your fingerprints taken to get licensed. Contact the Department of Public Safety to get printed. Once you get your fingerprint card, you will send it to the Alaska Department of Insurance with a fee of $47. If you are taking your test at the Anchorage location, you can schedule a fingerprint reservation with MorphoTrust USA at 1-866-761-8069 or through Pearson VUE. Be sure to schedule your exam first.

Bring two valid forms of government ID to the exam. Once you pass the exam, you will be notified, although your score will not be provided. You can then apply for your license with NIPR.
