For an Arkansas resident seeking to solicit insurance in Louisiana, which of the following is NOT a requirement to obtain a Louisiana nonresident license?

• A. Pass Louisiana's state licensing exam
• B. Complete fingerprints
• C. Submit out-of-state license verification
• D. Pay the licensing fee

Answer: (A)

Nonresident licensure in Louisiana typically relies on reciprocity with your home state, so you generally do not need to take Louisiana’s licensing exam to obtain a nonresident license. What’s normally required is to submit fingerprints for a background check, provide verification that your out-of-state license is active and in good standing, and pay the licensing fee. The exam is not a requirement for nonresident licensure, though you would encounter the Louisiana exam if you were applying for a resident license or for lines that require a local test. So the step not required here is passing Louisiana’s state licensing exam.
