Minnesota Insurance Licensing Exams Now Available Online

Insurance professionals in Minnesota may now take their pre-license examinations online, according to the Minnesota Department of Commerce.

“This new ability to take pre-licensing examinations online benefits those seeking to do business in these fields while continuing to give Minnesota consumers confidence that licensed real estate and insurance professionals have the training and knowledge to serve their needs well,” Commerce Temporary Commissioner Grace Arnold said in a media release.

The department noted that during the past year, pandemic restrictions have limited the number and size of in-person licensing examination sites. At the same time, the Department of Commerce has experienced an exponential increase in the number of people seeking to take the pre-license examinations.

Online testing allows licensing candidates to choose from many more testing times, day or night, from their home or office. The technology offered by Pearson VUE, which administers the Department of Commerce’s licensing examinations, allows for online testing monitored by a live proctor through a webcam and microphone to safeguard the integrity of the exam.

Requirements to take the Department of Commerce’s pre-licensing exam online, with a video to explain the process, can be found online at: Home.pearsonvue.com/mncommerce/onvue.
