How Do I Get A Life Insurance License In Virginia? 
If you are interested in becoming a life insurance agent , you can apply through the sircon website . I believe they do some sort of background check , etc. . After that , you usually have to go take a monitored test for the license . If you successfully complete all of that , you can get approved for a license . From there , you will need to get appointed with carriers if you 're trying to be a broker and sell multiple companies . Otherwise you can try to get a job as a captive agent for one single company . You want to work with a good , reputable brokerage who can help you succeed in the business . It 's not always about who pays the highest commissions , but the services a brokerage can provide you with . Some do a lot more than others . Once you 've got your appointments set up , you can start selling . Make sure you know your products ! Product knowledge is vital in this industry ! I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for help and if you have any other questions . Thanks very much .
