TDI offers more than 34 license types, including both agent and adjuster licenses. Some licenses are product-specific, while others cover broader categories. Choosing the right one depends on the type of insurance products you plan to sell or service.
You can learn more in TDI’s Texas Insurance Podcast.
For most TDI license types, you’ll need to be at least 18 years old, submit to a fingerprint background check review, and pass a licensing exam. Some license types have more requirements, so check the details for the license you want on TDI’s Agent/Adjusters page before applying.
Common license types are:
- Life insurance only.
- Life, accident, and health.
- Property and casualty.
- Adjuster.
If you’re moving to Texas
If you’re moving to Texas and you already have a similar license in another state, you usually won’t have to retake the licensing exam, as long as you notify TDI within 90 days of moving. You will need to submit a new application and TDI will verify your licensing history through a national database.
