Exam structure

One computer-based multiple-choice exam in two scored parts: a general knowledge part (50 scored questions covering life types of policies, provisions/riders, applications/underwriting, and accident & health types of policies, provisions, and other concepts) and a Missouri-specific part (45 scored questions on Missouri statutes, rules, and regulations common to all lines plus those pertinent to life and to accident & health), with 10 unidentified pretest questions mixed in

Where rules vary

Missouri-specific producer licensing exam: the state-specific portion 'has been developed to reflect the laws, statutes, rules, and regulations for the practice of insurance in Missouri.' Passing this exam qualifies a candidate to apply for a Missouri producer license (2-year term); it does not license in any other state.

Eligibility

No prelicensing education required for Missouri producer candidates; minimum age 18; candidates must present government-issued photobearing identification at the test center; after passing, licensure additionally requires the NAIC Uniform Application, a USD 100 license fee, and a clear background check by the Department

Retake policy

Unlimited attempts with no published waiting period other than one day before scheduling a reexamination; re-exam reservations are not made at the test center and the examination fee applies to each attempt
