Submit electronic fingerprints
You must make an appointment to submit electronic fingerprints to complete a background check. The Florida Department of Financial Services requires fingerprints to ensure that applicants do not have an ineligible criminal or social record that prevents them from being licensed insurance agents.
Resident candidates taking the insurance exam for the first time must be fingerprinted; However, if you have already submitted electronic fingerprints in the last twelve months for a previous proof of insurance, you may not be required to submit a new batch of fingerprints. You can contact Florida Financial Services to determine if a new set of fingerprints is needed.
