How to become an insurance agent in Georgia:

Then Property and Casualty is grouped together for another exam for $74. Then there is an option to do each aspect separately except Accident and Health which are put together on one exam, for $59. Combined, there are a total of 100 questions and there is a time limit of 150 minutes to complete the exams. The pass score is 70%.
License Application
It is suggested that the license application be completed at the kiosk in the testing facility possibly directly after a passing confirmation has been issued. Otherwise, it can be done online with an application fee of $75. Then if additional lines of authority need to be added at a later date, then there is an amendment fee of $25. Once the application is approved it takes 5-10 business days to issue the license. An email is sent to confirm the license status.
