Licensing facts

Getting licensed in California.

California has no pre-licensing course requirement, so you can schedule the exam as soon as you are ready. Here is what to budget.

In California, plan on the state exam through PSI (our list shows no required pre-licensing course hours for California), and about 2 to 4 weeks from start to license. Your state sets the rules and fees, so confirm the current California requirements with the state insurance regulator before you pay for anything.

These figures are approximate, change without notice, and are provided for planning only. Confirm current requirements, fees and exam vendors on your state insurance department website before enrolling in a course.
