Please allow 60 days for submitted license applications. You will receive an email advising you that your license has issued and providing instructions for a one time free print of your license.

If an applicant exempted from prelicensing education fails the examination, the applicant must successfully meet North Carolina's mandatory prelicensing education requirement prior to retaking the examination.

Applicants will receive an admission ticket in the Candidate Guide. Upon completion of the required prelicensing course, the approved provider will complete the admission ticket that must be taken to examination site. Applicants for an adjuster license are not required to complete prelicensing education, and, therefore, can just complete the admission ticket and take to examination site.

Individuals who qualify for an exemption, must submit a written request for a waiver of the prelicensing requirement along with proof of designation and the admission ticket to NCDOI/Agent Services Division, 1204 Mail Service Center, Raleigh NC, 27699-1204.
