How much does a Arizona insurance license cost in 2026?
The all-in cost to get a Arizona Life Producer license is about $330 in 2026. That figure covers the standard pre-licensing or exam-prep course, the state exam fee, the Arizona license application fee, and the required background check.
Line-item breakdown: pre-licensing or exam-prep course approximately $110, PSI (effective September 3, 2025) exam fee $50, Arizona license application fee $120, and fingerprinting/background check roughly $50.
Not included in the $330: optional study materials, retake fees if you fail the exam ($50 each attempt), and the appointment fee a carrier pays on your behalf once you are contracted. The Price Group reimburses qualifying course costs after your first policy is issued.
Arizona life insurance exam: format, questions, and passing score
The Arizona life insurance producer exam is administered by PSI (effective September 3, 2025). It contains 100 scored questions, you have 120 minutes to complete it, and you need a 70% score to pass. Results are delivered on screen immediately when you submit.
Question topics typically cover life insurance products and concepts, annuities, Arizona statutes and rules, and ethics and producer responsibilities. Calculators are provided on screen and you may not bring your own.
If you fail, you can rebook the next available PSI (effective September 3, 2025) date per the state's retake policy and pay the $50 fee again. Most candidates who fail the first attempt pass on the second after focused review of Arizona-specific statutes and product suitability.
How many hours of pre-licensing are required in Arizona?
Arizona does not mandate pre-licensing hours for the resident life producer license, but most candidates still complete a 20 to 40 hour exam-prep course before sitting for the exam to maximize their first-attempt pass rate.
TPG recommends a focused 20 to 40 hour exam-prep course covering life insurance products, annuities, and Arizona statutes. Even though hours are not required, the exam still tests the full body of life insurance knowledge.
How long does it take to get a Arizona insurance license?
The typical timeline from registration to license-in-hand is 3 to 6 weeks in Arizona.
Week 1-2: complete optional exam-prep coursework. Week 2-3: schedule and pass the PSI (effective September 3, 2025) exam. Week 2-3: submit the Arizona license application and complete fingerprinting/background check. Week 3-6: the state reviews the application and issues the license, usually within 7 to 14 business days of receiving cleared fingerprints.
The two variables that slow most people down are study pace and how quickly fingerprinting can be scheduled in your area.
