Which of the following is NOT a requirement for a Louisiana nonresident license for an Arkansas producer?

• A. Pass Louisiana's state licensing exam
• B. Be in good standing with home state license
• C. Pay the applicable fees
• D. Submit an application and background information

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is how nonresident licenses work when a producer already holds licensure in another state. Louisiana often recognizes an Arkansas producer through reciprocity, so the process focuses on confirming the producer is properly licensed in their home state and can meet Louisiana’s administrative steps, rather than making them retake Louisiana’s exam.

Passing Louisiana’s licensing exam isn’t required for a nonresident license issued to an Arkansas producer. The typical requirements are to be in good standing with the home state license, submit the application with any background information, and pay the applicable fees. Some cases may also involve a background check or fingerprinting, but the exam itself is usually waived for nonresidents that meet the home-state criteria.

So, the correct idea is that taking Louisiana’s exam is not a requirement, while being in good standing, completing the application with background information, and paying the fees are.
