How hard is it: pass rate
This page does not show a pass rate yet. We add a figure only after we read it on California Department of Insurance's own page and record the year it covers, so a number here always has a year and a source.
What it costs and how long it takes
| Item | Detail | Checked |
|---|---|---|
| Exam, application and first-license fees | $317 (courses and tuition not included) | 2026-10-12 |
How these were worked out
Fees: CDI schedule effective March 3, 2019 lists $188 filing fee and $55 examination fee for Life and Accident and Health agents; Capital Live Scan fingerprinting is $74 (PSI Candidate Information Bulletin, Feb 2025) = $317. A PSI test site adds a $43 convenience fee (same bulletin) and may charge a different exam price, so treat 317 as the low end. Courses are not included. Age, months and record policy not verified for California.

How these were worked out, and where they come from
CA: Fees: CDI schedule effective March 3, 2019 lists $188 filing fee and $55 examination fee for Life and Accident and Health agents; Capital Live Scan fingerprinting is $74 (PSI Candidate Information Bulletin, Feb 2025) = $317. A PSI test site adds a $43 convenience fee (same bulletin) and may charge a different exam price, so treat 317 as the low end. Courses are not included. Age, months and record policy not verified for California.
FL: Age: Florida 2-15 requirements sheet, step 1, natural person at least 18 and a Florida resident. Fingerprints are required and priced by the vendor. Months: Florida 2-15 prerequisite is a 60-hour approved course (or a 30-hour life and variable contracts course plus the health route); 60 / 15 study hours a week = 4 weeks = 0.9 months, plus 1 month for fingerprints, application and the state exam = 1.9, rounded to 2. Pace assumption: 15 study hours a week.
NY: Months: DFS requires a Department-approved course of not less than 40 hours for the life, accident and health authority; 40 / 15 = 2.7 weeks, about 0.6 months, plus 1 month for the PSI exam and application = about 2. License fee is $80 for a New York resident (DFS page); the PSI exam fee was not found, so no total is given.
TX: Fees: $49 General Lines Life, Accident and Health exam (Texas Insurance Licensing Candidate Handbook, Oct 2024, exam fee table) plus $50 application fee (TDI general lines life, accident, health and HMO page) = $99. Fingerprints through IdentoGO are extra and the price was not verified; courses are not included. Age: the same handbook says candidates must be at least 18 before the exam. Months and record policy not verified for Texas.
