Each state sets its own licensing requirements. Click your state to visit the official Department of Insurance website and learn how to get licensed there.
These links go directly to each state's official insurance regulator — the authority that issues your license, sets exam requirements, and processes military spouse portability requests.
Getting orders doesn't mean starting your license over. Here's how portability works when you PCS to a new state.
Most states honor licenses issued elsewhere. You typically apply for a non-resident or transferred license without retaking the exam.
Many states offer expedited or temporary licenses specifically for military spouses arriving on PCS orders — a result of DoD partnership with state legislatures.
Your license is tied to your state of legal residence. Stationed in Germany, Japan, or Korea, you can keep serving stateside clients by phone and video.
Start with the roadmap — most people go from zero to licensed in about a month.
