UtahOverview
Utah dropped its prelicensing education requirement outright — the Insurance Department states plainly that "Utah has no pre-licensing requirements for licensure," putting it alongside Pennsylvania and Maryland. It's also one of the few states that contracts with Prometric, rather than Pearson VUE or PSI, to run its insurance exams, with fingerprinting handled in the same session. Resident individual licenses run on a 2-year cycle tied to the licensee's birth month; agency licenses instead expire 2 years from their issuance month, since agencies don't have a birthday. Applications route through the standard electronic licensing channels rather than a Utah-run portal.
How to get licensed
Skip prelicensing — Utah doesn't require it
Utah has no prelicensing hour requirement for any producer line. You can register directly for the licensing exam as soon as you're ready to test.
Register for and pass the licensing exam
Utah uses Prometric, not Pearson VUE or PSI, to administer its insurance exams. Register and review the candidate handbook at prometric.com/utah/insurance; a remote ProProctor option is available if you'd rather not test in person.
Complete fingerprinting
Fingerprinting happens through Prometric and results feed both Utah's Bureau of Criminal Identification and the FBI, under Utah Admin. Code R590-281-4(1). Check the current fingerprint fee when you register — published figures vary and it's worth confirming before you budget.
Apply for your license
The fastest path is to apply through InsureTrek — we file your Utah application for the state's $75 fee, pulled from NIPR at the moment of application.
Wait for approval
Utah states electronic applications are generally processed within 5–10 business days. Check your status anytime at the Utah licensee search if you don't hear back.

Renewing an insurance license in Utah
Renewal window — Utah licenses renew every two years, expiring on the last day of the licensee's birth month. Agency licenses instead expire two years from their issuance month, since agencies don't have a birth month.
Grace period: A one-year reinstatement window is available after expiration, but it costs more than an on-time renewal — $120 for a full-line individual license or $95 for limited lines, versus $70–75 for renewing on time.
At least 12 of the 24 hours must be classroom or classroom-equivalent instruction, and no more than 12 hours may come from insurer-provided courses.
24 total CE hours per renewal term, including 3 ethics hours.
Nonresidents who've met their home state's CE requirement are exempt from Utah's CE for reciprocal lines.
| Line | Hours | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Title | 12 | Drops to 6 hours total after 20 or more consecutive years licensed. |
Non-resident insurance license in Utah
Utah licenses non-residents on a reciprocity basis under Utah Code § 31A-23a-109, waiving duplicate requirements for comparable lines if your resident state grants Utah residents similar treatment. Apply through InsureTrek the same way residents do, for a $75 individual fee ($50 for a limited-lines license).
Apply for a non-resident Utah license through InsureTrek, plus the state fee.

For agencies
Agencies, appointments & DRLP
Utah requires a separate producer license for agencies (business entities), filed through InsureTrek for an $85 fee. Every entity class except third-party administrators must name a Designated Responsible Licensed Producer holding an active Utah producer license in the entity's lines of authority. Managing general agents and reinsurance intermediaries aren't required to post a bond, but TPAs are.
Utah handles agent-to-agency associations as "designee" filings rather than a separate insurer-filed appointment process, and the department requires these filed electronically — paper submissions may be returned unprocessed.
