The North Dakota Insurance Department announced that as of Sept. 1, 2013, anyone applying to become a North Dakota resident insurance producer must undergo a criminal background check, including fingerprinting.
This requirement is the result of the passage of Senate Bill 2304 and does not apply to individuals renewing a license or individuals who apply for a license within 12 months after their license was cancelled or expired, unless the license was suspended or revoked.
Also beginning Sept. 1, 2013, Pearson VUE will no longer administer the North Dakota insurance exams. PSI will begin administering the examinations starting Sept. 3, 2013. Agents can begin scheduling appointments to take examinations Aug. 16, 2013, according to the insurance department.
