Life & Health Insurance License Study Courses

Looking to get your Tennessee Life and Health insurance license? We’ll breakdown the basic requirements for you to simplify the process. Insurance producers have an unlimited income potential and there are plenty of other good reasons to consider a profession in the insurance industry.

1. Complete a Study Course

Preparing to pass your license exam is the first and most important step in obtaining your insurance license. The licensing exam can be moderately challenging, especially if you attempt it without good preparation. If you are new to the insurance industry, you will need to become familiar with industry terminology, concepts, and exam-style questions. 

Completing a Tennessee license study course helps break down complex material into manageable sections, builds confidence, and ensures you understand both general insurance principles and Tennessee-specific requirements before exam day.

2. Schedule and Pass the Exam

After you have completed your study course and feel confident with the material, the next step is to schedule your licensing exam with Pearson VUE, Tennessee’s official exam provider. It is strongly recommended that you schedule your exam within a few days of finishing your course to maximize information retention. Taking the exam while the material is still fresh can significantly improve your performance and reduce test-day stress, helping you approach the exam with confidence and focus.

3. Submit Fingerprints

As part of the licensing process, all applicants must submit fingerprints for a required background check. Fingerprinting is completed through IdentiGo, the state-approved fingerprinting vendor. To avoid delays, it is best to submit your fingerprints at least two business days before submitting your license application. 

When scheduling your appointment, be sure to select the correct service type to ensure your fingerprints are properly routed to the Tennessee Department of Insurance:

Type: TN Insurance Producer – ORI # TN920680Z (Transaction Type – IP)

4. Apply for Your License

Once you have passed your exam and completed fingerprinting, the final step is to apply for your Tennessee Life and Health insurance license. Applications are submitted online through NIPR.com, a third-party platform used by the Tennessee Department of Insurance for licensing services. 

Be sure to review your application carefully for accuracy before submitting, as incomplete or incorrect information can delay approval. After submission, you can monitor your application status online until your license is issued.
