Can I waive the PE requirement? |
|
Yes, if you hold certain professional designations (CLU, ChFC,

in insurance from an accredited college. You must write to OFIS
(see How to Waive PE) and receive a written waiver before taking
the exam. |

|
How long is a PE Certificate good for? |
|
The licensing candidate must take the initial examination within
six months of the date of the PE course completion (if not, the
certificate expires and the course must be repeated.) If you fail
the initial examination, you would then have an additional six
months from the date of the first attempt to retake and pass the
examination. (If a passing exam score is not achieved by the end
of the six months, you would have to start PE anew and earn a
new Certificate of Completion). |
| |
|
|
Do I mail in the PE Certificate or Waiver or take it with
me to the exam site? |
|
Generally, the rule is to take it to the exam site. All paperwork
needed for the examination must be presented at the exam center. |
