PA Electronic Fingerprinting

Anyone not currently licensed will be required to get fingerprinted in order to obtain their producer license. Once you have scheduled to take the licensing exam, the following tips will make this a smooth process for you.

1. All new license candidates must be fingerprinted at a Thomson-Prometric Exam Center utilizing "live scan" technology. The Insurance Department no longer accepts fingerprint ink print cards.

2. Successful candidates are able and encouraged to apply for the license immediately from the test site. This procedure considerably shortens the delay to obtain the license.

3. A candidate applying for a license should bring the following to the test site:

   • 2 forms of ID
   • a credit card
   • A pre-filled license application form (recommended) - To apply immediately at the test site, some questions such as the 5-year history may require some prep time. An application form is available from this page (click on "Initial Licensing Documents: Application").
   • The Certificate of Completion for PLE (unless only applying for a new line of authority).
