What it takes to be licensed in Georgia
Before an agent can legally sell life insurance in Georgia, the Georgia Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire requires:
| License | Insurance Agent License (Life line of authority) |
| Pre-licensing education | 8 hours required |
| Licensing exam | Administered by Pearson VUE |
| Fingerprints / background check | Required |
| How to apply | Complete 8-hour pre-licensing course, pass the Pearson VUE exam, apply via NIPR, then complete IdentoGO fingerprinting (application must be submitted before fingerprint registration) |
| Renewal cycle | Every 2 years |
| Continuing education | 24 hours per renewal cycle |
Worth knowing: Georgia cut its pre-licensing requirement from 20 to 8 hours per line effective June 24, 2025 (Rule 120-2-3-.08), and agents licensed 20+ years need only 20 CE hours per cycle.
After the license: most working producers pair their book with a purpose-built CRM — our pick is InsuraCentral, and the full reasoning is in our 2026 life insurance CRM ranking.
