You must apply for your license after you pass your exam. In Washington, you must submit a completed application within 12 months of passing the exam. You apply online through an organization called National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR).

You may also apply for your license on the Washington Office of the Insurance Commissioner website.

Consider working with your supervisor, contact the Washington Office of the Insurance Commissioner, or email us or give us a call at 800-270-1385 and we can point you in the right direction. However, remember that the Washington Office of the Insurance Commissioner is the official agency in Washington that you should rely on for information regarding insurance licensing matters.

Make sure you obtain your fingerprinting through IDEMIA or IdentoGO a few days before you apply for your license. If the fingerprinting data is stale, you will have to spend another fee and get your fingerprinting done again.
