Licensing Exam Information

Nevada insurance license applicants must pass a computerized license examination administered by Pearson VUE, a national testing firm. To schedule an exam date and time, you can call them toll-free at (800) 274-2609 or visit www.pearsonVUE.com. You are encouraged to reserve your exam date at least three or four business days prior.

To schedule an exam, Pearson VUE will require the following:

• Personal information – legal name, address, phone, SSN, date of birth
• Exam specifics – exam type, preferred date and test center location
• Failing score report (if retaking an exam)
• Exam fees paid in full (individual exams are $90)

For more information, view Pearson VUE’s complete State of Nevada Insurance Candidate Handbook, which includes details of all licensing requirements, exam reservation guidelines, and a list of all Pearson VUE test center locations and hours of operation.

Upon arriving at the test center, you’ll need to show two pieces of ID (one photo-bearing) and confirmation number to the test administrator. Then a brief online tutorial will familiarize you with the computerized testing system before you answer a series of multiple-choice questions.

You will have plenty of time to complete the exam. The amount of time depends on how many exams you’re taking at a single sitting. Be sure to attempt to answer every question. Your score report marked "pass" or "fail" will be available immediately. Candidates who pass the a passing score will receive information on how to apply for a license. Candidates who fail the examination will receive a score report with a numeric score and diagnostic information relating to the general portion of the exam, as well as information about reexamination.
