What are the Insurance Exam Prep education requirements for South Carolina?

South Carolina does not require licensing candidates to complete prelicensing education; however, it is recommended to complete an exam prep course before attempting to take your state’s licensing exam.

How to get an insurance license in South Carolina

  1. Meet the general eligibility criteria
    • Be at least 18 years of age
    • Be a resident of, and actually residing in, the state of South Carolina
    • Be free of any convictions for a felony or crime involving dishonesty, fraud, breach of fiduciary duties, etc.

  4. Apply for a License
    • After passing the examination you must wait 2 days before applying online. After 2 days please apply online for your license at www.nipr.com
  5. Submit fingerprints
    • Resident producers are required to submit fingerprints for all NEW license applications. The applicant must submit a producer license application to the Department. Once the individual has submitted their application, the Department will send the applicant fingerprinting instructions, including the ORI number or service code, and the required applicant notices. Companies may not save and reuse the ORI number/service code or fingerprint instructions for future applicants. If fingerprints are received by the Department without an application, the fingerprints will be destroyed, and the individual will have to schedule and pay for another fingerprint appointment after an application has been submitted. There will be no exceptions to this process. Failure to adhere to the new procedures may cause an extended application processing timeframe beyond our goal of one to three business days.
