I Heard the there are “experimental” questions on the test that do not count towards my final score...Is this true?

Notwithstanding the examination things indicated in the "Examination Content Outlines", a little number (5 to 10) of "trial" inquiries may be directed to the candidates amid the exams. These inquiries won't be scored and the time taken to provide answers to them won't counted against the time of examination.

I am moving to Utah, how do I convert my existing insurance license (from another state) to a Utah resident producer’s license?

Step 1: Within 90 days of relocating to Utah cancel your license in previous resident state. The Utah Dept. of Insurance WILL NOT issue a resident license unless your previous license is inactive.


• Step 2: Establish residency in Utah.
• Step 3: Go to a PSI test center during the fingerprint walk-in hours posted on PSI's website.
• Step 4: Pay the $20 PSI processing fee, made payable by money order, cashier's check, company check, Visa or MasterCard.
• Step 5: Apply for the license outline from your home or office at www.sircon.com/utah or www.nipr.com before arriving at the test center for fingerprinting. You can also apply online using a kiosk at the test center. Payment for both the license application fee and the FBI/BCI fingerprint fee ($16.50 FBI/$20 BCI) must be made by credit card during the online license application process.
• Step 6: Upon completing the online application, print out the Sircon confirmation page as proof you have paid the FBI/BCI fees. Give the confirmation page to the test center proctor and your fingerprints will then be scanned.
• Step 7: Fingerprint results will be returned to the Department. The Department will evaluate the results and the license application prior to issuing any license.
• Step 8: Send proof of having established Utah residency, within the previous 90 days, via fax (801-538-3830), Attention: Kris Benavidez, or email it as an attachment to kbenavidez@utah.gov. This can be copy of your Utah driver's license, lease/rental agreement/ mortgage closing, or a utility bill showing the connection date. Utility bills include water/sewer, gas or electricity. Your name is required to be on the form of proof submitted.



* Electronic applications are generally processed within 5-10 business days once they have all required information (application, fees, and fingerprints completed). Please note research of the fingerprints may cause a delay. The Utah insurance department is required to allow 30 days for BCI/FBI to process fingerprints. If it has been more than 10 working days, you may contact kbenavidez@utah.gov to inquire if additional information is needed.

If I am licensed in another state do I have to take an exam to get a Utah non-resident producer’s insurance license?

No. Pursuant to UCA Section 31A-23a-109, Utah generally has reciprocity with other states. Provided that your application and fees have been properly submitted to the department, and your license in your home state is in good standing, Utah will issue a non-resident license to an individual or organization holding the same license in their resident state.

I am a claims adjuster. What do I do if I want to adjust claims in Utah?

Independent and Public Adjusters are required to be licensed in Utah.

If the resident state DOES license for the adjuster license, we will generally have reciprocity with that state and will issue a license based upon your compliance with your resident state. Applications are completed electronically via Sircon or NIPR.

If you resident state DOES NOT license adjusters, we will issue a license if you either pass our exam or already hold a non-resident adjuster license in another state. The option to apply electronically is not available; therefore you must submit the NAIC Uniform Application.

The application must be submitted via email or fax. The Utah Department of Insurance does not accept mailed applications or checks. You can email the application to Heidi at hpetermann@utah.gov or fax to 801-538-3830. A credit card number must be provided.
