Everything You Need to Know About Insurance Licensing in the Beehive State

Last updated: May 20, 2026

Getting a Utah insurance license is a step-by-step process, but it is not as complicated once you know which license you need, which exam to take, and what to do after you pass.

Utah licenses insurance professionals through the Utah Insurance Department. Most new resident producer candidates must pass the required insurance exam, apply electronically through Sircon or NIPR, complete fingerprinting if this is their first resident license, and then become appointed or designated before they can actually transact insurance.

This guide explains the Utah insurance license process from start to finish, including license types, exam requirements, fees, fingerprinting, renewal rules, and continuing education.

Utah Insurance License Quick Facts

Why Exam Prep Matters in [STATE]

[STATE] gives candidates flexibility by not requiring mandatory prelicensing hours. But flexibility can become a trap if it leads to scattered studying.

The [STATE] insurance exam is a content-heavy multiple-choice exam. You are not just memorizing definitions. You need to recognize policy language, understand how coverages work, identify exclusions and conditions, and apply insurance law to exam-style scenarios.

That is why TESTivity uses a multi-tool study system instead of relying on one flat textbook.

The TESTivity Platinum Study Package includes:

Frequently Asked Questions About Getting a [STATE] Insurance License

To get a Utah insurance license, choose the license type you need, prepare for the required exam, schedule and pass the exam through Prometric, apply electronically through Sircon or NIPR, complete fingerprinting if you are an initial resident applicant, and become appointed or designated before transacting insurance.

No. Utah does not require candidates to complete a prelicensing course before taking a Utah insurance exam. Candidates may use the study materials or education they believe will best prepare them.

Utah insurance licensing exams are administered by Prometric. The Utah Insurance Department contracts with Prometric for its insurance examination program.

Yes, if you are applying for an initial resident insurance license. Utah requires fingerprints for initial resident applicants. Fingerprinting must be done at a Prometric test center using live scan technology.

Utah candidates may be able to take insurance exams at a Prometric test center or through Prometric’s ProProctor remote proctoring system. However, fingerprinting for initial resident applicants must still be completed at a Utah Prometric test center.

The Utah Licensing Information Bulletin lists the individual producer license fee as $75. Initial resident applicants should also expect fingerprint-related fees and any applicable Sircon or NIPR transaction fees.

Utah individual insurance licenses renew every two years based on the licensee’s birth month. A first license term may be 24 to 35 months so the license can align with the birth-month renewal system.

Most Utah resident producers must complete 24 hours of continuing education per renewal cycle, including 3 hours of ethics. Utah also requires 12 hours to be classroom or classroom-equivalent and requires all 24 hours to be Utah-approved.

Not quite. After obtaining a Utah producer license, you still need to be appointed by an insurer or designated by an agency before you can conduct insurance transactions.

If you want to sell auto, homeowners, commercial property, liability, or workers compensation coverage, start with Property and Casualty. If you want to sell life insurance, health insurance, Medicare products, disability income, long-term care, or annuities, start with Life and Health.
