California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara said at a press conference: "During the new crown pneumonia epidemic, when the unemployment rate is setting a historical record, we must do everything we can to adapt to the current era and increase employment opportunities." "Our new remote license exam will allow more applicants to obtain permits, which will help our economy and California consumers."
Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in the United States, the number of insurance licenses obtained has been greatly reduced. This is largely due to "interruption of exams", "maintaining social distancing", limited test seats, and other business sectors related to COVID-19 Impact.
Currently,16 other states are using remote license exams, including New York, Washington, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Colorado.
Pre-licensed education and examination information
If an applicant wants to work, "passing the license examination" is one of the many conditions that must be met. After completing the "Prelicensing Education" (Prelicensing Education) requirements and passing the license exam, the Insurance Bureau will conduct a comprehensive review of the license application, including background checks.
Once it is determined that the license applicant meets the eligibility requirements, the license will be issued.
