STATE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

• Applicants who provide an affirmative answer to any of the background questions should fax a written, signed explanation, along with court documents, for each incident in connection with that answer.  Failure to supply the necessary documents within 90 days of application will result in denial of the application. 
• Variable Annuities:  Applicant must concurrently apply for the Life line of authority in order to  carry a Variable line.  Applicant (individual or business entity) must either show the Variable line on their domicile state license on the PDB, or send CRD/NASD report showing state registrations.  The CRD number should be entered in the application information as well.  See below if adding Variable to an existing Idaho non-resident license.
• Business Entities applying electronically must have a designated producer who is currently licensed in Idaho and holds the same lines of authority the business is requesting for their license.  Business entities must file with the Idaho Secretary of State to do business in Idaho before submitting an electronic application for insurance license.  Please go to: www.idsos.state.id.us to find forms and instructions for filing. 
• Idaho does not license Sole Proprietors as business entities.  Please contact the ID Dept of Insurance for instructions for licensing options in this circumstance. 
• Idaho is a reciprocal state.  Idaho will issue non-resident licenses for business entities and individuals based on licensure in their home state.  If a business or individual does not hold a license or line of insurance in their home state, Idaho will not issue them a license or line of authority. 
• Idaho allows application for all major lines of authority under one license.  Only one application is required. 
• If your citizenship is other than U.S., please fax a copy of your green card, per NAIC rules.

• Applicants with an existing, active non-resident or resident license, who wish to amend that license by ADDING LINES, please contact the Idaho Dept of Insurance for instructions to add lines.  Producers should NOT use the electronic process for this purpose, at this time, as Idaho does not charge a fee to add lines to an existing license.
