Resident Insurance Producer License (Connecticut)

An insurance producer license lets a person sell insurance in Connecticut in the lines of authority they hold, such as Life, Accident and Health, or Property and Casualty. Candidates complete pre-licensing education, pass a state exam at a Pearson VUE test center, and then apply through NIPR. The license renews every two years with continuing education.
