Nonresident license candidates may obtain a Pennsylvania agent license, without having to complete the pre-license education requirement as long as they are currently licensed as a resident and in good standing in their home state. In addition, nonresident license candidates are exempt from an examination if the applicant’s home state grants a waiver of examination to Pennsylvania resident license producers.
