Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs a California Personal Lines Broker-Agent license?+

Anyone in California who sells PERSONAL auto and PERSONAL residential property insurance only (not commercial). It's the entry-level P&C license with a narrower scope.

What's the difference between Personal Lines and the full P&C Broker-Agent license?+

Personal Lines is limited to PERSONAL auto + homeowners/renters/dwelling (1-4 family residential). The full P&C license also includes commercial property, commercial auto, casualty/liability, and workers' compensation. Personal Lines has a shorter exam (both now require only the 12-hour ethics course as of 2026).

How much does the California Personal Lines license cost?+

Roughly $350-450 total: $229 CDI application fee + ~$54 PSI exam fee + ~$58 Live Scan fingerprinting + $30-80 pre-licensing course.

How many hours of pre-licensing are required?+

As of January 1, 2026, California removed the 20-hour Personal Lines prelicensing requirement (AB 943). Only the 12-hour Ethics and California Insurance Code course is still required before the license is issued.

How long is the exam?+

About 100 multiple-choice questions over ~2.5 hours, with a 60% passing score.

Is the California Personal Lines exam available in Spanish, Chinese, or Vietnamese?+

Yes. AB 451 (2018) legally requires CDI to offer producer license exams in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese (Mandarin), and Korean.

Can I upgrade from Personal Lines to the full P&C license later?+

Yes. As of 2026 (AB 943) no additional prelicensing hours are required — you simply add the line of authority and sit for the full P&C exam (~150 questions). Many agents start with Personal Lines and upgrade as their book grows.
