How Much Does It Cost to Get an Insurance License in Arizona?
September 10, 2026 · PassReadyPro Team
Arizona's licensing costs come in three pieces: the exam fee, the license application fee, and a fingerprint background check — plus whatever you spend on a pre-licensing course. Here's the real breakdown.
Quick answer: Plan on roughly $190–$210 in state, exam, and fingerprinting fees for most Arizona license lines, on top of your pre-licensing course.
The exam fee (paid to PSI)
Arizona's exams are administered by PSI. Arizona switched exam vendors from Pearson VUE to PSI in September 2025, and published fee amounts have varied by line and by source during that transition — the clearest confirmed figure is the Property & Casualty Adjuster exam at $49 per attempt. For producer lines (Life & Health, Property & Casualty, Life Only), confirm the current fee directly on PSI's Arizona insurance candidate page rather than relying on an older number, since this is the fee most likely to have shifted recently.
The license application fee (paid through NIPR or DIFI)
Arizona charges a flat $120 application fee for both resident producer and resident adjuster licenses — one of the more consistent numbers across sources. See NIPR's Arizona fee schedule for the current figure.
Fingerprinting
Arizona requires electronic fingerprinting through the Arizona Department of Public Safety's Public Services Portal for all resident insurance licenses. Between the DPS processing fee and the FBI's fingerprint fee, most applicants pay somewhere in the $20–$45 range total, though this varies by the specific service used — check DIFI's licensing resources for the current process and cost.
Putting it all together
| Item | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| PSI exam fee (per attempt) | ~$49 (adjuster, confirmed) — verify for producer lines |
| License application fee | $120 |
| Fingerprinting (AZ DPS / FBI) | ~$20–$45 |
| Pre-licensing course | Varies by provider |
Add your pre-licensing course cost on top. Our Arizona courses are a flat rate per license line with unlimited timed practice exams and a Pass Guarantee.
Arizona's fees have moved more than usual recently because of the PSI vendor transition — treat every number above as a starting point and confirm the current fee on PSI's and DIFI's own pages before you pay.
