Quick Answer: Your Path to a Kansas Insurance License

The Kansas Department of Insurance (KDOI) licenses insurance producers. The main steps are:

  1. Meet eligibility requirements: Be at least 18 and have no disqualifying criminal history.
  2. Complete pre-licensing education for your chosen insurance line(s).
  3. Pass the Kansas state licensing exam administered by the approved testing vendor.
  4. Submit your application via NIPR or directly to the KDOI.
  5. Complete fingerprinting and pass a criminal background check.

Nonresident producers from states with reciprocal agreements may bypass the exam. Check the KDOI's nonresident licensing page for current reciprocity agreements.

Understanding Kansas Insurance License Types

Kansas issues producer licenses by line of authority, as outlined in K.S.A. 40-2401 et seq. You can hold multiple lines on one license.

Variable Contracts

This license is required in addition to a Life license if you plan to sell variable life insurance or variable annuities. Selling variable products also requires FINRA registration (Series 6 or Series 7). Consult the KDOI and FINRA for the most current requirements.
