How to Get Your Nevada Insurance License: Step-by-Step Guide

Nevada producers are licensed by the Nevada Division of Insurance. The exam is given by Pearson VUE, and applications are filed through Sircon.

Quick answer: Nevada's Pearson VUE exams cost $37 for a single line and $47 for the combined Life/Health or Property/Casualty exams, with a passing score of 70. The Division says prelicensing education is not required. The state license fee is $185, and you must pass the exam within one year before applying.

Step 1: Confirm you're eligible

Nevada requires applicants to be at least 18, pass the exam for each line, pay fees, submit fingerprints and maintain a valid email address. Moving to Nevada from another state? You may be exempt from the exam if you apply within 90 days of inactivating your former resident license, for the same lines of authority — see the Division's individual producer page.

Step 2: Prepare for the exam

The Division's page says prelicensing education is not required, though you may take a course to prepare. (Pearson's handbook says prelicensing must be completed "if required for your desired license type"; the Division's statement is the one that applies to producers.) A course built on the Nevada outline is the most efficient way to cover the general and Nevada-law material. See the Nevada courses →

Step 3: Register and pass the exam

Exam	Fee
Single-line exam (Life, Health, Property, Casualty, Personal Lines)	$37
Combined Life & Health or Property & Casualty	$47

Fees are paid at reservation and are non-refundable. The passing score is 70. If you fail, wait 24 hours before reserving again; online candidates are allowed two attempts per exam before later attempts must be at a test center.

Step 4: Apply and get fingerprinted

Apply online through Sircon — within one year of passing the exam — and pay the $185 state licensing fee (the vendor may add transaction fees). After you submit, fill out the Fingerprint Background Waiver, attach it to your application, get fingerprinted at an approved vendor within 90 days of applying, and upload the receipt. The Division can't approve your application without these.

What it actually costs

Item	Cost
Pearson VUE exam (single line / combined)	$37 / $47
State producer license fee	$185 (+ vendor fees)

Keeping your license

Producers complete 30 hours of continuing education during the license term, including 3 hours of ethics, and renew through Sircon. Nevada's renewal cycle is every 3 years.

Putting it together

Study to the Nevada outline, pass the Pearson VUE exam, then apply through Sircon and complete fingerprints.
