All insurance agent licensing examinations in Idaho come with a cost of $65 and are administered by Pearson VUE.

Note: There is no limit to the number of times candidates may attempt any given exam. Having said that, exam results are only valid for 180 days, after which they are considered invalid.

Idaho requires all applicants for an insurance agent license to submit their fingerprints and undergo a background check.

This process comes with a non-refundable processing fee of $61.25.

To schedule an appointment, you will have the following two options:

  • Electronic Submission: You will need to log in to your Pearson VUE account to schedule an electronic fingerprint submission at an available location

  • Hard Card Submission: For hard card fingerprint submission, you will need to download and review the Fingerprint Hard Card Process instructions from Pearson VUE’s Idaho insurance page

Remember to not send fingerprint cards or the required fee directly to the Idaho Department of Insurance, as they will not be accepted.

Note: Any misdemeanors or felonies may affect the outcome of your licensing efforts. If you’re worried about this, you can contact the Idaho Department of Insurance by phone or email for more guidance on this topic.
