Exam structure

One computer-based multiple-choice exam in two scored parts: a general knowledge part (50 scored questions covering property types of policies, property terms and related concepts, property policy provisions and contract law, casualty types of policies/bonds and related terms, casualty terms and related concepts, and casualty policy provisions) and a Missouri-specific part (40 scored questions on Missouri statutes, rules, and regulations common to all lines, pertinent to property, and pertinent to casualty), 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; 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, an application 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
