What it takes to be licensed in Utah
Before an agent can legally sell life insurance in Utah, the Utah Insurance Department requires:
| License | Resident Producer License (Life line of authority) |
| Pre-licensing education | Not required |
| Licensing exam | Administered by Prometric |
| Fingerprints / background check | Required |
| How to apply | Electronic application only, via Sircon or NIPR after passing the exam |
| Renewal cycle | Every 2 years |
| Continuing education | 24 hours per renewal cycle |
Worth knowing: Fingerprinting is done by live scan at the Prometric test center at exam time and is sent to Utah BCI and the FBI; CE includes 3 hours of ethics.
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.
