Fees
  • $55 — Examination fee (Series 12-03, Life and Health) (PSI Services LLC, per attempt) Source
  • $61.25 — Electronic fingerprinting at a PSI Oregon site (state and PSI processing fees combined) (PSI Services LLC, one-time) Source

The Division's fees page and the PSI bulletin agree on both amounts: $55 for a combined exam and $61.25 for fingerprints, which PSI alone takes (the bulletin splits it into a $46.25 state fee and a $15.00 PSI fee). Registration fees are not refundable or transferable and expire one year after registering. The Division's page lists the initial licence application as $105 online at NIPR plus a processing fee; it is not shown as a row because a rule the Division filed on 06/29/2026 proposes raising producer licence and issuance fees.
