| Fees |
The bulletin says examination fees are not refundable or transferable, and are forfeited if the exam is not taken within one year of PSI receiving the fee. First-time producer applicants must also complete 20 hours of approved prelicensing education per line of authority unless exempt, so a Property & Casualty applicant needs a certificate for each line. License application fees are paid to the Department of Commerce and were not readable (the Department's pages are behind a CAPTCHA); confirm with the Department.
